  • Neural mechanisms underlying memory acquisition and encoding are not fully understood. Here authors show that during sleep, besides the replay of past memory, coactivity of a new set of cells arises (engram-to-be) to encode future memory by the aid of offline synaptic scaling. This dual process preserves past memories while shaping new ones for the future.

  • How sleep creates novel inferential information is not fully understood. Here authors show that neuronal co-activations during NREM sleep organize the learned knowledge in a hierarchy, while co-activations during REM sleep compute the inferential information.

  • How the hippocampus sorts and integrates multiple sensory inputs during learning remains unclear. Here, the authors found that the hippocampus uses reverberatory activity to link conditioned and unconditioned stimuli and to avoid crosstalk during sensory inputs.

  • Animals refer to related past experiences when processing sensory inputs. The authors show that a cellular ensemble in the posterior parietal cortex that is activated during past experience mediates an interaction between past and current information to update memory through a circuit including the anterior cingulate cortex.

  • The brain stores memories through a set of neurons known as engram cells. Here, the authors show that engram cells in the mouse hippocampus are organized into sub-ensembles representing distinct pieces of information, which are then orchestrated to constitute an entire memory.

  • Short-term memories (STM) can become long-term memories when occurring alongside novel experiences. Here, the authors investigate the neural mechanisms behind such 'behavioural tagging' and find STM neural populations are preferentially incorporated into the ensembles encoding novel experiences.

  • Many cognitive functions rely on the ability to link distinct but related memories, while retaining the capacity to recall the individual details of the linked memories. Inokuchi and colleagues describe evidence that memory linking involves engram overlap and discuss the mechanisms that regulate this process.

  • Short-term memory (STM) forms a protein synthesis-, NMDAR- and NREM sleep-dependent engram which lasts at least 3 days in the mouse hippocampus following a novel object location task, suggesting that STM is not completely lost within hours.
