Topic: recall-gated consolidation

In many species and behaviors, learning and memory formation involve plasticity in at least two distinct neural pathways, responsible for short and long-term learning, and a process of consolidation requiring interaction between them. A well-known example is the consolidation of hippocampal memory traces into the neocortex in mammals. Consolidation mechanisms are also observed in motor learning (between cortical and subcortical structures) and associative learning in insects (between subregions of the mushroom body). Here, we propose a model that captures common computational principles und
