In temporal lobe epilepsy, interictal spikes (IS) - hypersynchronous bursts of network activity - occur at high rates in between seizures. We sought to understand the influence of IS on working memory by recording hippocampal local field potentials from epileptic mice while they performed a delayed alternation task. We found that IS disrupted performance when they were spatially non-restricted and occurred during running. In contrast, when IS were clustered at reward locations, animals performed well. A machine learning decoding approach revealed that IS at reward sites were larger than IS elsewhere on the maze, and could be classified as occurring at specific reward locations - suggesting they carry informative content for the memory task. Finally, a spiking model revealed that spatially clustered IS preserved hippocampal replay, while spatially dispersed IS disrupted replay by causing over-generalization. Together, these results show that IS can have opposing outcomes on memory.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
