- Title
- Reactivation of cell assemblies during the off-line brain states
- Abstract
- Evidence suggests that information processing in the brain is performed by complex dynamics of cell assemblies. For example, reactivation of behaviorally induced cell assemblies during sleep (memory reactivation) has been reported to promote consolidation of memory. In this talk, I will discuss several topics on memory function of sleep including (1) a brief review of recent experimental findings on memory reactivation, (2) possible preactivation of procedural memory during REM sleep, (3) information-geometric analysis of hippocampal and cortical reactivation and (4) enhancement/erasure of memory by external manipulation of the sleeping brain activity.
