Structural Synaptic Plasticity Has High Memory Capacity and Can Explain Graded Amnesia, Catastrophic Forgetting, and the Spacing Effect (2014, background): “Such models predict either that memories would be replayed and consolidated for an unlimited time [102] or that Ribot gradients would occur only for memories acquired during a limited time interval before the lesion occurred [104].”
Continual Learning through Retrieval and Imagination (2022, background): “Humans continuously learn new skills and accumulate knowledge over their lifetime (Alvarez et al. 1994; Smolen et al. 2019).”
Meta-Consolidation for Continual Learning (2020, background): “The human brain is able to constantly, and incrementally, consolidate new information with existing information, allowing for quick recall when needed [5, 78].”
Hippocampal replay in the awake state: a potential physiological substrate of memory consolidation and retrieval (2011, background): “This stabilization is thought to depend on the hippocampally driven reactivation of previously encoded associations, a process that is thought to promote memory storage in the neocorte”
Hippocampal Replay is Not a Simple Function of Experience (2010, background): “Previous interpretations of the role of replay have arisen from the concept that it provides a mechanism by which recent experiences are written out from hippocampus to cortex (Marr, 1971; Squire et al., 1984; Squire, 1987; Buzsáki, 1989; Cohen and Eichenbaum, 1993; Alvarez and Squire, 1994; Hasselm”
Inductive biases for deep learning of higher-level cognition (2020, background): “idation into cortex (Alvarez and Squire, 1994) so that they can be presumably committed to cortical long-term memory and fast inference mechanisms.”
Memory for events and their spatial context: models and experiments. (2001, background): “Many subsequent models have identi¢ ed the hippocampus (or, less speci¢ cally, the medial temporal lobe) as a convergence zone, so that rapid learning of hippocampal simple representations can allow subsequent, slower, learning of long-range associations between the dii erent neocortical areas ( Alv”
Computational principles of learning in the neocortex and hippocampus (2000, methodology): “A number of other approaches to understanding cortical and hippocampal function share important similarities with our approach, including, for example, the use of Hebbian learning and pattern separation (e.g., Hasselmo and Wyble, 1997; McNaughton and Nadel, 1990; Touretzky and Redish, 1996; Burgess ”
Why there are complementary learning systems in the hippocampus and neocortex: insights from the successes and failures of connectionist models of learning and memory. (1995, background): “Alvarez and Squire (1994) have also adopted this view. In modeling work done at the same time as but independently of our own, they have developed a neural network simulation of the reinstatement process, showing how it can capture the general form of the pattern of data shown in Figure 1. While not”
Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Brain Structure Changes during Extensive Learning (2006, background): “The gray matter increase in the right posterior hippocampus, known also for its role in semantic and spatial knowledge acquisition (Alvarez and Squire, 1994; Maguire et al., 2003), suggests specific use-dependent plasticity of medial temporal lobe structures.”
Theta rhythm of navigation: Link between path integration and landmark navigation, episodic and semantic memory (2005, background): “…and the links between them have been expressed implicitly or embedded in specific frameworks previously (Rawlins and Tsaltas, 1983; Kanerva, 1988; Alvarez and Squire, 1994; McClelland et al., 1995; Levy, 1996; McNaughton et al., 1996; Muller et al., 1996b; Rolls, 1996; Solomon and…”
New circuits for old memories: the role of the neocortex in consolidation. (2004, background): “Presumably, this would beas they are consolidated in neocortical circuits (Alvarez and Squire, 1994; Squire and Alvarez, 1995).”
