A curious property of the the cortical response to hippocampal ripples is the following cortical delta wave: a short period in which the vast majority of neurons are silenced. We recently showed within this silence, some activity (~2%) remains&nbsp; and that this effectively increases the signal-to-noise ratio of the cortical response, as the very little remaining activity was relevant to the hippocampal reactivation immediately preceding the memory. We believe that this process is involved in the reorganization of memory traces to integrate them in the cortical network.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ralitsa Todorova I am interested in the mechanisms of memory consolidation and particularly the role of sleep.
