Want to Read $ 15.98"Artifacts, and, eventually, words can readily communicate semantic information from one brain to another without laborious episodic exploration by each individual. Instead, the grounding of meaning is simply achieved by guidance or approval from others. Externalized information can be named, and, therefore, it rapidly spreads semantic knowledge. This ability comes with a cost, though. We accept the definition of events and phenomena too often without personal experience, accumulating and using a huge vocabulary in which we do not understand the true meaning of many words."-György Buzsáki, The Brain from Inside Out
"Sharp wave ripples: this peculiar and unique brain pattern is viewed today as a subconscious mechanism to explore the organisms's options, searching for stored items of the past in the disengaged brain in order to extrapolate and predict possible future outcomes. It embodies a brain mechanism that compresses the discrete concepts of the past and future into a continuous stream. There is no trigger for the occurrence of sharp wave ripples. They are not caused by anything. Instead, they are released, so to speak when subcortical neurotransmitters reduce their grip on hippocampal networks, as routinely happens during nonaroused or idle waking states, such as sitting still, drinking, eating, grooming, and non-rapid eye movement (REM) sleep."-György Buzsáki, The Brain from Inside Out
