Sharp-wave ripple activity in the brain may be an early biomarker for Alzheimer's disease before cognitive impairment begins.
Artificially prolonging hippocampal sharp wave ripples improves working memory.
Hippocampal replay selectively enhances memory of highly rewarded locations in a familiar context.
Sharp wave ripples, brain waves important for memory consolidation, are influenced by synaptic inhibition, researchers report.
Blocking it stumps memory-guided decision-making in rats – NIH-funded study Awake mental replay of past experiences is essential for making...
