Shows that rat hippocampal replay of place cells during REM sleep occurs at the peak of theta oscillation - a point that favours LTP - in place cells that correspond to novel environments, but at the trough of theta oscillation - a point that favours long-term depression - for patterns that correspond to familiar environments. The authors suggest that this represents hippocampal consolidation followed by hippocampal erasure as information is transferred, over time, to the neocortex (see also references 103-106 and 108-111).
