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

The thalamus engages in various functions including sensory processing, attention, decision
making and memory. Classically, this diversity of function has been attributed to the nuclear …

Historically, the thalamus has been viewed as little more than a relay, simply transferring
information to key players of the cast, the cortex and hippocampus, without providing any …

In this review, we present a survey on Korsakoff's syndrome (KS), a residual syndrome in
patients who suffered from a Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) that is predominantly …

Standard models of episodic memory focus on hippocampal–parahippocampal interactions,
with the neocortex supplying sensory information and providing a final repository of …

Rats and mice are used for studying neuronal circuits underlying recognition memory due to
their ability to spontaneously remember the occurrence of an object, its place and an …

Animals can navigate vast distances and often display behaviours or activities that indicate a
detailed, internal spatial representation of their surrounding environment or a 'cognitive …

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 …

The anterior thalamic nuclei are a vital node within hippocampal-diencephalic-cingulate
circuits that support spatial learning and memory. Reflecting this interconnectivity, the …

Memories initially formed in hippocampus gradually stabilize to cortex over weeks-to-months
for long-term storage. The mechanistic details of this brain re-organization remain poorly …
