Replay in the brain has been viewed as rehearsal or, more recently, as sampling from a
transition model. Here, we propose a new hypothesis: that replay is able to implement a form …

Conscious experiences involve subjective qualities, such as colours, sounds, smells and
emotions. In this Perspective, we argue that these subjective qualities can be understood in …

In human neuroscience, studies of cognition are rarely grounded in non-task-
evoked,'spontaneous' neural activity. Indeed, studies of spontaneous activity tend to focus …

Memory reactivations and replay, widely reported in the hippocampus and cortex across
species, have been implicated in memory consolidation, planning, and spatial and skill …

The brain forms cognitive maps of relational knowledge—an organizing principle thought to
underlie our ability to generalize and make inferences. However, how can a relevant map be …

The mechanisms by which the brain replays neural activity sequences remain unknown.
Recording from large ensembles of hippocampal place cells in freely behaving rats, we …

We advance a novel computational theory of the hippocampal formation as a hierarchical
generative model that organizes sequential experiences, such as rodent trajectories during …

Bottom-up models of functionally relevant patterns of neural activity provide an explicit link
between neuronal dynamics and computation. A prime example of functional activity …

The hippocampus is critical for memory and spatial navigation. The ability to map novel
environments, as well as more abstract conceptual relationships, is fundamental to the …

Comparative cognitive science often involves asking questions like 'Do nonhumans have
C?'where C is a capacity we take humans to have. These questions frequently generate …
