Flickering, representational drift, and theta sequences collectively depict non-local HPC representations of recalled/imagined experiences at peak theta phases opposite to local/present experiences at theta troughs, driven by predictive, internal generative network processes

Post-detour plastic network reconfiguration during sleep causes representational drift during the post-detour reversal condition compared to original pre-detour, and theta flickering of the alternate representations

Using a detour task, we found that time-compressed theta sequences on the novel detour emerge rapidly in laps 1-2 and can be predicted in part from the preplay events expressed during the preceding pre-detour sleep before expression of detour replay
