Abstract

Spontaneous "off-line" reactivation of neuronal activity patterns may contribute to the consolidation of memory traces. The ventral striatum exhibits reactivation and has been implicated in the processing of motivational information. It is unknown, however, whether reactivating neuronal ensembles specifically recapitulate information relating to rewards that were encountered during wakefulness. We demonstrate a prolonged reactivation in rat ventral striatum during quiet wakefulness and slow-wave but not rapid eye movement sleep. Reactivation of reward-related information processed in this structure was particularly prominent, and this was primarily attributable to spike trains temporally linked to reward sites. It was accounted for by small, strongly correlated subgroups in recorded cell assemblies and can thus be characterized as a sparse phenomenon. Our results indicate that reactivated memory traces may not only comprise feature- and context-specific information but also contain a value component.

  • Neuronal reactivation is not limited to hippocampal circuitry but occurs also in the thalamus, striatum and neocortex.

    “It is not limited to hippocampal circuitry but occurs also in the thalamus, striatum and neocortex (Pennartz et al. 2004; Euston et al. 2007; Lansink et al. 2008).”

    From System consolidation of memory during sleep (2012) · cites this paper as Lansink et al. 2008

    The Abstract reports reactivation in the rat ventral striatum, and the Discussion describes replay across cortical and subcortical structures. The paper mentions thalamo-prefrontal circuits as potential targets of ventral striatal information, but the passages do not establish reactivation in the thalamus. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
