Coupling between slow-waves and sharp-wave ripples organizes distributed neural activity during sleep in humans

TL;DR: A selection mechanism wherein hippocampal SWR and cortical slow-wave synchronization governs the transient engagement of distributed neuronal populations supporting hippocampal-dependent memory consolidation is suggested.
