The authors show that sharp-wave events recorded in mouse hippocampal slices are more likely to involve neurons that have been activated during a recent behavioral episode. The excitation/inhibition balance of the synaptic inputs received by these cells during sharp waves is biased toward excitation, suggesting a potential mechanism for their preferential recruitment into these network events.
