"Selective consolidation of learning and memory via recall-gated plasticity", Lindsey and Litwin-Kumar, 2024.

On forming long-term memories:

"The key component of this model is a mechanism by which a long-term learning and memory system prioritizes the storage of synaptic changes that are consistent with prior updates to the short-term system. This mechanism, which we refer to as recall-gated consolidation, has the effect of shielding long-term memory from spurious synaptic changes, enabling it to focus on reliable signals in the environment."

With a discussion including mammalian and insect brains.
