IMHO the cortex is the superstar of long-term memory because of spontaneous recovery of LTM due to redundant storage in the cortex

  You've got to settle the memory in during this days long process first, and that's being revised through sharp wave ripples.

    That appears to be true for STM but IDK about LTM? - "Study shows how memories ripple through the brain" (2017) https://www.ninds.nih.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/study-shows-how-memories-ripple-through-brain https://www.ninds.nih.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/st... "Learning-enhanced coupling between ripple oscillations in association cortices and hippocampus" (2017) https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aan6203 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aan6203 ... NeuroGrid - "Brain found to store three copies of every memory" (2024) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41352124 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41352124 : > So that makes four (4) copies of each memory in the brain if you include the engram cells in the prefrontal cortex

      Good to read Rhythms of the Brain for how SWR creates memories.
