Let Me Explain You How.\n\nTalk Abstr act: A general wisdom is that only selected aspects of our experiences are remembered. Extensive work over the past decades has shown that sleep pla ys a critical role in the consolidation process of memory. We identified a brain pattern\, known as sharp wave-ripple (SPW-R)\, that supports the “r eplay” of waking experience in compressed snippets (~100 ms) in the hippoc ampal-neocortical circuits. SPW-Rs evolved in evolution to support body fu nctions\, such as regulating glucose levels and hormone release\, and we e xapted to serve cognitive functions\, parallel with the development of the neocortex. SPW-Rs are present in the resting and waking brain\, and these compressed information packages repeat fragments of learned information 2 000 to 4000 times each night during non-REM sleep. However\, brain mechani sms that select experiences for lasting memory are not known. To address t he selection (or “credit assignment”) problem\, we combined large-scale ne ural recordings with a novel application of dimensionality-reduction techn iques in rodents. When the brain state changed from theta oscillations dur ing maze exploration to SPW-Rs during reward consumption\, the spike conte nt of SPW-Rs decoded the trial in which they occurred. In turn\, during po st-experience sleep\, SPW-Rs continued to replay those trial contents that were reactivated most frequently during waking SPW-Rs. These findings dem onstrate that the replay content of awake SPW-Rs provides a tagging mechan ism to select critical aspects of experience that are consolidated and pre served for future use during sleep. In related experiments\, we aborted or prolonged SPW-Rs by closed-loop optogenetic methods and demonstrated impa ired and enhanced memory of the previous experience\, respectively. Thus\, SPW-Rs provide a hippocampal mechanism for prioritizing and tagging aspec ts of experience and consolidating them during post-learning sleep.\n\nGyö rgy Buzsáki\n\n\n\nGyörgy Buzsáki is Biggs Professor of Neuroscience at Ne w York University. His main focus is “neural syntax”\, i.e.\, how the nume rous brain rhythms organize segmentation of neural information to support cognitive functions. He is among the top 0.1% of most-cited neuroscientist s and an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences USA\, Academia e Europaeae\, and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He sits on the editor ial boards of several leading neuroscience journals\, including Science an d Neuron\, honoris causa at Université Aix-Marseille\, France and Universi ty of Kaposvar\, Hungary and University of Pécs\, Hungary. He is a co-reci pient of the 2011 Brain Prize and the recipient of the 2020 Ralph Gerard A ward (SFN). (Books: G.
