Novel experience induces persistent sleep-dependent plasticity in the cortex but not in the hippocampus
Episodic and spatial memories engage the hippocampus during acquisition but migrate to the cerebral cortex over time.We have recently proposed that the interplay between slow-wave (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep propagates recent synaptic changes from the hippocampus to the cortex.To test this theory, we jointly assessed extracellular neur
