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 …

Sleep spindles are burstlike signals in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of the sleeping
mammalian brain and electrical surface correlates of neuronal oscillations in thalamus. As …

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

The generation of myelin-forming oligodendrocytes persists throughout life and is regulated
by neural activity. Here we tested whether experience-driven changes in …

Bioelectronic devices must be fast and sensitive to interact with the rapid, low-amplitude
signals generated by neural tissue. They should also be biocompatible and soft, and should …

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 …

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 …

Consolidation of declarative memories requires hippocampal-neocortical communication.
Although experimental evidence supports the role of sharp-wave ripples in transferring …

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 …
