BACKGROUND Ever since Edward Tolman's proposal that comprehensive cognitive maps
underlie spatial navigation and, more generally, psychological functions, the question of …

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 …

What do infants know? How does the knowledge that they begin with prepare them for
learning about the particular physical, cultural, and social world in which they live? Answers …

Deep reinforcement learning has emerged as a powerful tool for a variety of learning tasks,
however deep nets typically exhibit forgetting when learning multiple tasks in sequence. To …

The emergence of powerful artificial intelligence (AI) is defining new research directions in
neuroscience. To date, this research has focused largely on deep neural networks trained …

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

Episodic memory involves learning and recalling associations between items and their
spatiotemporal context. Those memories can be further used to generate internal models of …

Knowledge abstracted from previous experiences can be transferred to aid new learning.
Here, we asked whether such abstract knowledge immediately guides the replay of new …

Executing memory-guided behavior requires storage of information about experience and
later recall of that information to inform choices. Awake hippocampal replay, when …
