Sharp wave ripples are brief, highly synchronous bursts of activity in the local field potential and population activity of the hippocampus. They occur predominantly during periods of inactivity and are crucial for the transfer of short-term memories in the hippocampus to long-term memories in the cortex. How this process exactly takes place at the neuronal level, however, is still largely unknown. To answer this question, we leveraged a large publicly available dataset of simultaneous Neuropixels recordings across the brain from the International Brain Laboratory collaboration. We analyzed 74

Speech perception degrades in background noise, which is primarily caused by an inability to identify the consonants. In this study, we aim to determine how different consonants are represented in the spiking patterns of auditory nerve fibers and how these representations are affected when presented in speech-shaped background noise.Single-unit auditory nerve fiber recordings were collected from fourteen normal-hearing young-adult gerbils, using glass electrodes. Three different naturally-spoken vowel-consonant-vowel constructs were presented in quiet and in background noise at 5 dB SNR, imita
