We're finally getting the tools to study replay in humans. But why bother? What can we learn from it that we don't know from rodent recordings? Our thoughts are now out in a new TICS Forum Great fun writing this w @smfleming.bsky.social + @maritpetzka.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

What can we learn from studying replay in humans?

Noninvasive methods are making it possible to study neural replay in humans. Although focused on alignment with rodent findings, human research often …

Cortical gamma oscillations riding on top hippocampal ripples help “tune” how the cortex responds later. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroscience

Human hippocampal ripples tune cortical responses based on predicted uncertainty - Nature Neuroscience

Using direct recordings from the human brain, Frank et al. show that hippocampal ripples increase ahead of unpredictable events and tune the visual cortex to respond faster and more strongly to surpri...

📣 Thrilled to share our recent work in @natneuro.nature.com. Using direct recordings from the human hippocampus and visual cortex, we asked how the brain prepares to encode information when upcoming events are unpredictable, and what ripples do in that process. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
