So happy to see this published! Lila and I looked at how memory representations of sequences became integrated over time through their shared predictive cues. We had fun thinking about the different aspects of systems consolidation that may play a role in this transformation
Exciting new study from @alexatompary.bsky.social and Lila Davachi: consolidation-related restructuring and integration doi.org/10.7554/eLif...
Integration of overlapping sequences emerges with consolidation through medial prefrontal cortex neural ensembles and hippocampal–cortical connectivity
Changes in cortical neural ensembles and heightened coupling between the hippocampus and cortex enable the eventual behavioral integration of memories with overlapping sequential information.

So proud of @weijiacao.bsky.social for spearheading this cool set of experiments. Weijia is applying to PhD programs this cycle so snap her up while you still can!
What semantic relationships have you been using to test how prior knowledge influences new memories? Turns out it matters! Thematic associations are more likely to boost memory but also generate false memories (relative to taxonomic ones). osf.io/preprints/ps...
