Biological organisms learn from interactions with their environment throughout their lifetime.
For artificial systems to successfully act and adapt in the real world, it is desirable to similarly …

Memory consolidation refers to the transformation over time of experience-dependent
internal representations and their neurobiological underpinnings. The process is assumed …

Artificial neural networks suffer from catastrophic forgetting. Unlike humans, when these
networks are trained on something new, they rapidly forget what was learned before. In the …

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 …

Sleep has been identified as a state that optimizes the consolidation of newly acquired
information in memory, depending on the specific conditions of learning and the timing of …

Information that is congruent with existing knowledge (a schema) is usually better
remembered than less congruent information. Only recently, however, has the role of …

The ability to reinstate neuronal assemblies representing mnemonic information is thought
to require their consolidation through offline reactivation during sleep/rest. To test this, we …

A hallmark feature of episodic memory is that of “mental time travel,” whereby an individual
feels they have returned to a prior moment in time. Cognitive and behavioral neuroscience …

The hippocampus is an important brain circuit for spatial memory and the spatially selective
spiking of hippocampal neuronal assemblies is thought to provide a mnemonic …

The hippocampus replays experiences during quiet rest periods, and this replay benefits
subsequent memory. A critical open question is how memories are prioritized for this replay …
