Systems consolidation solves the stability-plasticity-dilemma and is a persuasive theory within the neuroscience of memory. The study by Tallman et al. (this issue) adds to the current literature showing that brain activity changes over time follow a power function in some neocortical areas but not in the hippocampus. In our comment, we suggest that a power function may, however, not be the only model that needs to be considered for such an analysis. We also highlight that reasoning by the absence of statistical significance should be replaced by appropriate statistics (e.g., using superiority or equivalence tests).
系统巩固解决了稳定性-可塑性困境，是记忆神经科学中的一个有说服力的理论。Tallman 等人的研究（本期）增加了当前的文献，表明在一些新皮层区域，大脑活动随时间的变化遵循幂律，但在海马体中则不然。在我们的评论中，我们认为幂律可能不是这种分析唯一需要考虑的模型。我们还强调，通过不存在统计学意义来进行推理应该被适当的统计方法（例如，使用优势或等效检验）所取代。
