Transient, high-frequency hippocampal oscillations called sharp wave–ripples may be involved in the formation of memories that are later consolidated in the neocortex. Oscillations of ripple frequency (∼200 Hz) have been reported in the rodent neocortex during sleep but are not well understood. Here, the authors
