Cognitive and neural mechanisms of episodic memory reactivation: from consolidation to retrieval

Introduction: Episodic memory is the result of highly dynamic processing. After encoding, the memory trace undergoes a set of transformations that range from the unconscious replay during waking rest periods to the full-blown reactivation that gives rise to our experience of recollection. The litera...

Sumario:Introduction: Episodic memory is the result of highly dynamic processing. After encoding, the memory trace undergoes a set of transformations that range from the unconscious replay during waking rest periods to the full-blown reactivation that gives rise to our experience of recollection. The literature review reveals that, despite our knowledge of the neocorticalhippocampal circuits involved, their brain oscillatory mechanisms remain unclear. Objective: The main goal of this doctoral thesis is to track episodic memory reactivation during consolidation and retrieval by means of its oscillatory signatures. Explicitly, we aim to unveil how their underlying neural mechanisms unfold over time and space to coordinate behaviour...
