Human cortical-hippocampal dialogue [Neuroscience]

Declarative memory consolidation is hypothesized to require a two-stage, reciprocal cortical–hippocampal dialogue. According to this model, higher frequency signals convey information from the cortex to hippocampus during wakefulness, but in the reverse direction during slow-wave sleep (SWS). Conversely, lower-frequency activity propagates from the information "receiver" to the "sender" to coordinate...
