Topic: action selection cells

Experimental studies have demonstrated that spontaneous task-independent replay of sequences encoding a learned route during sharp-wave–ripple (SWR) events can be beneficial for consolidating path memory [1] and discovering new behavioral strategies, such as forming novel space-action representations, finding shortcuts, and integrating and associating different routes[2]. Additionally, It has been shown experimentally that hippocampal theta sequences, generated during active exploration of the environment, play a crucial role in selecting appropriate actions in goal-directed tasks[3,4].
