Recent neurophysiological and neuroanatomical studies suggest a close interaction
between sensory and motor processes across the neocortex. Here, I propose that the …

The entorhinal cortex and hippocampus form a recurrent network that informs many
cognitive processes, including memory, planning, navigation, and imagination. Neural …

Human reasoning depends on reusing pieces of information by putting them together in new
ways. However, very little is known about how compositional computation is implemented in …

A general mathematical description of how the brain sequentially encodes knowledge
remains elusive. We propose a linear solution for serial learning tasks, based on the concept …

A comprehensive neural model of language must accommodate four components:
representations, operations, structures and encoding. Recent intracranial research has …

Memories are encoded in neural ensembles during learning,,,,–and are stabilized by post-
learning reactivation,,,,,,,,,–. Integrating recent experiences into existing memories ensures …

Humans and animals routinely infer relations between different items or events and
generalize these relations to novel combinations of items. This allows them to respond …

Structured internal representations ('cognitive maps') shape cognition, from imagining the
future and counterfactual past, to transferring knowledge to new settings. Our understanding …

During rest and sleep, the brain processes information through replay, reactivating neural
patterns linked to past events and facilitating the exploration of potential future scenarios …

Humans and animals have a striking ability to learn relationships between items in
experience (such as stimuli, objects and events), enabling structured generalization and …
