Anyone know what jayajay means by "SPWs"? Neither article speaks of SPWs but both speak of "sharp waves" or "sharp wave ripples"(designated "SWRs").
Maybe jayajay needs a nap!8-))

Edit: SPWs, Sharp Waves, SWR, etc. are just labels for sharp waves. I can't believe I am getting attacked for using jargon. The names don't matter. The physics and science matters. Richard Feynman.
Edit 2: The link I sent uses the same jargon that I use. So, honestly mate, what is your deal here? Are you trolling?
You used a term (SPW) I'm not familiar with without defining the term, the three articles you referenced did not include the term, in the end we find the term is not an acronym, I have no knowledge of your training or background and my background is different from yours.
I was intrigued enough to briefly search for SPW but seeing nothing clearly enlightening, I asked for clarification.
My reference to your needing a nap is because you didn't initially define the term SPW, since most reading your post were likely unfamiliar with. No harm was intended. Not everyone knows what you know or thinks about what you think about, especially technical jargon.
It is true that the article you posted later in response to my queries does indeed contain references to the term "SPW". Thank you for providing that clarifying link.
Unfortunately the terminology and origin of the term "SPW" (or "SPW-R")remains unknown to me, despite the second article using it freely. The article says, for example:
"... John O'Keefe investigated SPW-Rs in more detail in 1978 while studying the spatial memory of rat..."
Queries on Google seem to indicate that the term "SPW-R" refers to the same concept as the acronym "SWR" (a true acronym), but I'll never know, being too impatient to consider the matter further.
Apparently someone else found your posts to be dissatisfactory.

As for this, obviously somebody thought your responses were inappropriate. I agree with them, and would have done the same if I had the necessary reputation.
