Nested Sequences Are An Indispensable Mechanism for Forming Memories

Caption

Left: illustration of the experimental device. Right: rats are placed on a miniature treadmill and transported by an electric train (the locomotive is placed behind the car so as not to mask the field of vision). Displacements can be active (treadmill on) to preserve the "nested" sequences or passive (treadmill off), to disturb them selectively, without altering the slow sequences.
