The Brain ‘Rotates’ Memories to Save Them From New Sensations

Some groups of neurons process sensory data and memories at the same time. New work shows how the brain pivots those representations to prevent interference.

apparently they mean this

but claim it is more than just an emergent property

Interesting, ta.

Can’t do that. Unless you mean short term memories, in which that neatly explains why they are short term.

here’s a thought:
since it has been previously conjectured that learning
(processing that which was experienced and learned)
takes place during periods of sleep, could that 90º flip
be explained by the change in position between being
awake (up-right) & asleep (lying down/perpendicular)?

No, because these changes are taking place continually.
