CRCNS: Neural computations underlying sequence memory consolidation in sleep
The ability to store and retrieve sequentially related information is arguably the foundation of intelligent behavior. It allows us to predict the outcomes of sensory situations, to achieve goals by generating sequences of motor actions, to 'mentally' explore the possible outcomes of different navigational or motor choices, and ultimately to communicate through complex verbal sequences generated by flexibly chaining simpler elemental sequences learned in childhood. Sleep extracts invariant features from the learned information, leading to the generation of explicit knowledge and insight. Despite remarkable progress, including work by PI and co-PI of this project, many critical questions…
