This raises many questions, what is the source of replay if it’s not the hippocampus?. How is replay in the different memory systems coordinated?. Is striatal replay and dopamine release synchronized? 11/13.

This suggests that replay is a common feature for memory consolidation but that the hippocampus is not! 10/13.

In fact, not a single feature of the replay changed following the lesion. 9/13
