Official Title: Learning Novel Structure Across Time and Sleep
Brief Summary:
Acting adaptively requires quickly picking up on structure in the environment and storing the acquired knowledge for effective future use.Dominant theories of the hippocampus have focused on its ability to encode individual snapshots of experience, but the investigators and others have found evidence that it is also crucial for finding structure across experiences.The mechanisms of this essential form of learning have not been established.The investigators have developed a neural network model of the hippocampus…
