Episodic memory reflects the ability to recollect the temporal and spatial context of past
experiences. Episodic memories depend on the hippocampus but have been proposed to …

Sharp wave ripples (SPW‐Rs) represent the most synchronous population pattern in the
mammalian brain. Their excitatory output affects a wide area of the cortex and several …

Artificial neural networks suffer from catastrophic forgetting. Unlike humans, when these
networks are trained on something new, they rapidly forget what was learned before. In the …

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 …

The mammalian hippocampus is important for normal memory function, particularly memory
for places and events. Place cells, neurons within the hippocampus that have spatial …

Sleep is universal, tightly regulated, and its loss impairs cognition. But why does the brain
need to disconnect from the environment for hours every day? The synaptic homeostasis …

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 …

Learning and memory are two of the most magical capabilities of our mind. Learning is the
biological process of acquiring new knowledge about the world, and memory is the process …

Targeted memory reactivation (TMR) is a methodology employed to manipulate memory
processing during sleep. TMR studies have great potential to advance understanding of …

Hippocampal replay during sharp-wave ripple events (SWRs) is thought to drive memory
consolidation in hippocampal and cortical circuits. Changes in neocortical activity can …
