Repetition accelerates neural markers of memory consolidation
View through CrossRef
Abstract
No sooner is an experience over than its neural memory representation begins to be strengthened and transformed through the process of memory replay. Using fMRI, we examined how memory strength manipulated through repetition during encoding modulates post-encoding replay in humans. Results revealed that repetition did not increase replay frequency in the hippocampus. However, replay in cortical regions and hippocampal-cortical coordinated replay were significantly enhanced for repeated events, suggesting that repetition accelerates the consolidation process. Interestingly, we found that replay frequency in both hippocampus and cortex modulated behavioral success on an immediate associative recognition test for the weakly encoded information, indicating a significant role for post-encoding replay in rescuing once-presented events. Together, our findings highlight the relationships of replay to stabilizing weak memories and accelerating cortical consolidation for strong memories.
