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 …

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

Expert problem-solving is driven by powerful languages for thinking about problems and
their solutions. Acquiring expertise means learning these languages—systems of concepts …

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 …

Episodic memories are multifaceted and malleable, capable of being transformed with time
and experience at both the neural level and psychological level. At the neural level, episodic …

Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the
retention of memory. In this review we aim to comprehensively cover the field of “sleep and …

Pioneering research studies, beginning with those using Drosophila, have identified several
molecular and cellular mechanisms for active forgetting. The currently known mechanisms …

We rely on our long-term memories to guide future behaviors, making it adaptive to prioritize
the retention of goal-relevant, salient information in memory. In this review, we discuss …

Spike-timing-dependent synaptic plasticity (STDP) is a leading cellular model for behavioral
learning and memory with rich computational properties. However, the relationship between …

Slow oscillations and sleep spindles are hallmarks of the EEG during slow-wave sleep
(SWS). Both oscillatory events, especially when co-occurring in the constellation of spindles …
