Circuit mechanisms of hippocampal replay
We study how neural activity in the hippocampus and connected areas mediates their roles in learning and memory. We are interested in circuit mechanisms responsible for activation of hippocampal units in precise sequences that depict past and future behavioral trajectories. These sequences, called "replays", are attracting increasing attention because of the unique way they allow a subject to re-experience events from another time and place. Despite these intriguing features, several questions remain. We do not know how replays impact other brain activity and what role they play in behavior. We also do not know how other circuits outside of the hippocampus are involved in generating…
