Biological organisms learn from interactions with their environment throughout their lifetime.
For artificial systems to successfully act and adapt in the real world, it is desirable to similarly …

Humans and animals have the ability to continually acquire, fine-tune, and transfer
knowledge and skills throughout their lifespan. This ability, referred to as lifelong learning, is …

The roles of the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (PFC) in memory processing—
individually or in concert—are a major topic of interest in memory research. These brain …

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 …

Various cognitive functions have long been known to require the hippocampus. Recently,
progress has been made in identifying the hippocampal neural activity patterns that …

Schemas are superordinate knowledge structures that reflect abstracted commonalities
across multiple experiences, exerting powerful influences over how events are perceived …

While the interaction of the cardinal rhythms of non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep—the
thalamo-cortical spindles, hippocampal ripples, and the cortical slow oscillations—is thought …

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 …

Memories of fearful events can last a lifetime. The prelimbic (PL) cortex, a subregion of
prefrontal cortex, plays a critical role in fear memory retrieval over time. Most studies have …

We update complementary learning systems (CLS) theory, which holds that intelligent
agents must possess two learning systems, instantiated in mammalians in neocortex and …
