Measuring integration of novel and pre-existing knowledge in hippocampus and neocortex
Angela Zordan, Jeroen Bos, Bruce McNaughton, Francesco Battaglia · FENS Forum 2024
According to current theory, memories are initially encoded through hippocampal (HC) and neocortical (NC) interactions, and subsequently consolidated during slow-wave-sleep (SWS) into hippocampus-independent neocortical schemas. In this sleep phase, specific neural oscillations, Sharp-Wave-Ripples (SWR) and K-complexes (KC), dominate, respectively, HC and NC.Complementary Learning Systems Theory (CLST)1 proposes that new memories can gradually be integrated into the NC, without catastrophically interfering2 with existing knowledge. However, it assumes a massive replay of previous knowledge int
