Recent opinion piece on awake #HippocampalReplay which takes together a lot of recent results and concludes that:

  • no, the evidence does not point towards a role of replay in immediate planning
  • instead, replay might be used to tag memories for future consolidation,
  • and it might be triggered by prediction error (e.g. difference of reward, novelty, ...)
