Cortico-hippocampal interactions for memory Francesco Battaglia, PhD, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Radboud University Nijmegen Memory representations are evolving objects through the lifetime of a memory. The recording of large groups of neurons from behaving animals has been instrumental for investigating brain network dynamics supporting memory encoding consolidation and retrieval. Classically, upon memory encoding during…
