Although long-term memory consolidation is supported by sleep, it is unclear how it differs
from that during wakefulness. Our review, focusing on recent advances in the field, identifies …

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 …

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 …

It is proposed that a cognitive map encoding the relationships between entities in the world
supports flexible behavior, but the majority of the neural evidence for such a system comes …

The fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) have a long and intertwined history.
In more recent times, however, communication and collaboration between the two fields has …

BACKGROUND Ever since Edward Tolman's proposal that comprehensive cognitive maps
underlie spatial navigation and, more generally, psychological functions, the question of …

Deep reinforcement learning agents have achieved state-of-the-art results by directly
maximising cumulative reward. However, environments contain a much wider variety of …

" Our thoughts are meaningful. We think about things in the outside world; how can that be
so? This is one of the deepest questions in contemporary philosophy. Ever since …

Most research on mind-wandering has characterized it as a mental state with contents that
are task unrelated or stimulus independent. However, the dynamics of mind-wandering …

An extended argument that cognitive phenomena—perceiving, imagining, remembering—
can be best explained in terms of an interface between contentless and content-involving …
