Phase-based coordination of hippocampal and neocortical oscillations during human sleep

R Cox, T Rüber, BP Staresina, J Fell - Communications Biology, 2020 - nature.com
During sleep, new memories undergo a gradual transfer from hippocampal (HPC) to
neocortical (NC) sites. Precisely timed neural oscillations are thought to mediate this sleep …
