Path integration and the neural basis of the'cognitive map'

BL McNaughton, FP Battaglia, O Jensen… - Nature Reviews …, 2006 - nature.com
The hippocampal formation can encode relative spatial location, without reference to external
cues, by the integration of linear and angular self-motion (path integration). Theoretical …

Oscillations in the prefrontal cortex: a gateway to memory and attention

K Benchenane, PH Tiesinga, FP Battaglia - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2011 - Elsevier
We consider the potential role of oscillations in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in mediating
attention, working memory and memory consolidation. Activity in the theta, beta, and gamma …

The hippocampus: hub of brain network communication for memory

FP Battaglia, K Benchenane, A Sirota… - Trends in cognitive …, 2011 - cell.com
A complex brain network, centered on the hippocampus, supports episodic memories
throughout their lifetimes. Classically, upon memory encoding during active behavior, …

[PDF][PDF] Coherent theta oscillations and reorganization of spike timing in the hippocampal-prefrontal network upon learning

…, M Khamassi, PL Tierney, Y Gioanni, FP Battaglia… - Neuron, 2010 - cell.com
To study the interplay between hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex (Pfc) and its
importance for learning and memory consolidation, we measured the coherence in theta …

Replay of rule-learning related neural patterns in the prefrontal cortex during sleep

…, K Benchenane, SI Wiener, FP Battaglia - Nature …, 2009 - nature.com
Slow-wave sleep (SWS) is important for memory consolidation. During sleep, neural patterns
reflecting previously acquired information are replayed. One possible reason for this is that …

Neural responses to facial expression and face identity in the monkey amygdala

KM Gothard, FP Battaglia… - Journal of …, 2007 - journals.physiology.org
The amygdala is purported to play an important role in face processing, yet the specificity of
its activation to face stimuli and the relative contribution of identity and expression to its …

Hippocampal sharp wave bursts coincide with neocortical “up-state” transitions

FP Battaglia, GR Sutherland… - Learning & …, 2004 - learnmem.cshlp.org
The sleeping neocortex shows nested oscillatory activity in different frequency ranges,
characterized by fluctuations between “up-states” and “down-states.” High-density neuronal …

Light sleep versus slow wave sleep in memory consolidation: a question of global versus local processes?

L Genzel, MCW Kroes, M Dresler, FP Battaglia - Trends in neurosciences, 2014 - cell.com
Sleep is strongly involved in memory consolidation, but its role remains unclear. ‘Sleep
replay', the active potentiation of relevant synaptic connections via reactivation of patterns of …

Replay, the default mode network and the cascaded memory systems model

…, F Stella, BL McNaughton, FP Battaglia - Nature Reviews …, 2022 - nature.com
The spontaneous replay of patterns of activity related to past experiences and memories is
a striking feature of brain activity, as is the coherent activation of sets of brain areas — …

Inhibition recruitment in prefrontal cortex during sleep spindles and gating of hippocampal inputs

A Peyrache, FP Battaglia… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
During light slow-wave sleep, the thalamo-cortical network oscillates in waxing-and-waning
patterns at about 7 to 14 Hz and lasting for 500 ms to 3 s, called spindles, with the thalamus …
