| Abstract | How do brains, and a brain structure called the hippocampus in particular, learn from one experience and apply that learning to a different situation? This ability to generalize is at the core of our success in adapting quickly to a wide variety of new situations, and in making efficient use of limited experience, but how brains do this is still unknown. By observing how neurons change their activity during learning, how subsequent replay of that activity supports these changes, and capturing th |
