The spontaneous replay of patterns of activity related to past experiences and memories is a
striking feature of brain activity, as is the coherent activation of sets of brain areas …

Neural computations are often compared to instrument-measured distance or duration, and
such relationships are interpreted by a human observer. However, neural circuits do not …

While initial encoding of contextual memories involves the strengthening of hippocampal
circuits, these memories progressively mature to stabilized forms in neocortex and become …

Network dynamics have been proposed as a mechanistic substrate for the information
transfer across cortical and hippocampal circuits. However, little is known about the …

Speech consists of a continuously-varying acoustic signal. Yet human listeners experience it
as sequences of discrete speech sounds, which are used to recognise discrete words. To …

Replay is the reactivation of one or more neural patterns that are similar to the activation
patterns experienced during past waking experiences. Replay was first observed in …

Conscious memory for a new experience is initially dependent on information stored in both
the hippocampus and neocortex. Systems consolidation is the process by which the …

Memory consolidation refers to the transformation over time of experience-dependent
internal representations and their neurobiological underpinnings. The process is assumed …

Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the
retention of memory. In this review we aim to comprehensively cover the field of “sleep and …

Adaptation to the ever-changing world is critical for survival, and our brains are particularly
tuned to remember events that differ from previous experiences. Novel experiences induce …
