Goal Location Beta Oscillations and Sharp Wave–Ripples Are Complementary Markers of Learning-Related Changes in Hippocampal–Neocortical Networks
The hippocampus and neocortex are thought to undergo reorganization to incorporate new information during learning. How can we identify network states that indicate learning is occurring? In the hippo...
