DESCRIPTION:Learning about facts and events\, including spatial maps\, is 
 thought to occur in two stages. First\, the hippocampus is thought to rapi
 dly learn information during behavior and form a memory trace via the NMDA
 -dependent synaptic plasticity. Then\, during subsequent period of sleep t
 his memory trace is thought to be consolidated from the hippocampus to the
  neocortex. During behavior and sleep\, the cortico-hippocampal activity s
 hows distinct rhythms. I will describe our experimental and computational 
 investigations towards understanding this process.
