Fig. 5. Peri-ripple reactivation across the visual hierarchy during free
recall.(A) HFB response to preferred (top 10) and nonpreferred (bottom
10) images in face/place selective recording sites during viewing. (B) HFB
activity in the same category-selective electrodes during recall, time-
locked to the onset of simultaneously recorded hippocampal ripples. Note
the selective transient increase in HFB power during recall of preferred
versus nonpreferred images (P< 0.05, cluster-based permutation test;
n= 57 bipoles from 13 patients). (C) Multitaper spectrograms showing that
peri-ripple cortical responses were concentrated in a broad high-frequency
range (50 to 180 Hz). (D) Reactivation effect size (Hedges’g) in visually
responsive electrodes, comparing peri-ripple responses during recall of
“preferred”versus“nonpreferred”images. (EandF) Percentage of
significant electrodes (P< 0.05, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, uncorrected)
and mean effect size in each region of interest. Peri-ripple response
selectivity was strongest in the fusiform gyrus and entorhinal cortex. Note
the clear tendency for increased reactivation effect at more anterior-
medial sites. Error bars and shaded areas represent SEM. In (A) and (B),
horizontal orange bars represent significant time clusters.
