| summary | I will present a set of studies that show how memories are stored in the human cortex in balanced excitatory-inhibitory (EI) ensembles. These studies suggest that cortical memories lie dormant unless their precise EI balance is perturbed, while cortical inhibition plays a key role in protecting overlapping memories from interference. Furthermore, I will discuss recent data from both humans and mice that explores the role of hippocampus in mediating EI balance during recall. |
