       * These methylations and initiated demethylations in the hippocampus are the basis of the short term memory of the event. However, over a period of 4 weeks, the methylation and initiated demethylation patterns are transferred, by a process not yet understood, to the anterior cingulate cortex where long term memories are stored.

-      * It is thought that during slow wave sleep, the hippocampus replays the events of the day for the neocortex. The neocortex then reviews, rehearses and processes memories, which moves them into long-term memory.

       * memory consolidation during sleep depends on coordinated activity among three brain regions - orbitofrontal cortex, thalamus and hippocampus - and disruptions to this activity (eg. epilepsy spikes) can impair memory performance(([[https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2517454123|2026: A hierarchical cascade of sleep rhythms supports motor memory and is hijacked by epileptic spikes in human epilepsy]]))
       * Sleep deprivation can lead to reduced retention of memories, or false memories as the memories are not properly transferred to long-term memory.
