A mechanism for learning with sleep spindles

A Peyrache, J Seibt - … Transactions of the Royal Society B, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Spindles are ubiquitous oscillations during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. A
growing body of evidence points to a possible link with learning and memory, and the …

Topological analysis of sharp-wave ripple waveforms reveals input mechanisms behind feature variations

ER Sebastian, JP Quintanilla, A Sánchez-Aguilera… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
The reactivation of experience-based neural activity patterns in the hippocampus is crucial
for learning and memory. These reactivation patterns and their associated sharp-wave …

[HTML][HTML] Population dynamics of head-direction neurons during drift and reorientation

Z Ajabi, AT Keinath, XX Wei, MP Brandon - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
The head direction (HD) system functions as the brain's internal compass,, classically
formalized as a one-dimensional ring attractor network,. In contrast to a globally consistent …

The human thalamus orchestrates neocortical oscillations during NREM sleep

T Schreiner, E Kaufmann, S Noachtar… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
A hallmark of non-rapid eye movement sleep is the coordinated interplay of slow oscillations
(SOs) and sleep spindles. Traditionally, a cortico-thalamo-cortical loop is suggested to …

Local origin of excitatory–inhibitory tuning equivalence in a cortical network

AJ Duszkiewicz, P Orhan, S Skromne Carrasco… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
The interplay between excitation and inhibition determines the fidelity of cortical
representations. The receptive fields of excitatory neurons are often finely tuned to encoded …

A role for spindles in the onset of rapid eye movement sleep

M Bandarabadi, CG Herrera, TC Gent… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Sleep spindle generation classically relies on an interplay between the thalamic reticular
nucleus (TRN), thalamo-cortical (TC) relay cells and cortico-thalamic (CT) feedback during …

Sensory and behavioral modulation of thalamic head-direction cells

E Blanco-Hernández, G Balsamo… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
Head-direction (HD) neurons are thought to exclusively encode directional heading. In
awake mice, we found that sensory stimuli evoked robust short-latency responses in …

How our understanding of memory replay evolves

ZS Chen, MA Wilson - Journal of Neurophysiology, 2023 - journals.physiology.org
Memory reactivations and replay, widely reported in the hippocampus and cortex across
species, have been implicated in memory consolidation, planning, and spatial and skill …

An inhibitory hippocampal–thalamic pathway modulates remote memory retrieval

G Vetere, F Xia, AI Ramsaran, LM Tran… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Memories are supported by distributed hippocampal–thalamic–cortical networks, but the
