Using microelectrode array recording of neuronal ensembles in the hippocampus and neocortex of freely behaving rodents we have been able to study the formation and processing of spatial memory during active behavior, quiet wakefulness, and sleep. In this talk I will discuss the role of brain rhythms in the encoding and reactivation of spatial memory sequences and consider general computational principles of hippocampal involvement in cognition, learning, memory, and dreams.
