Although hippocampal place cells replay nonlocal trajectories, the computational function of these events remains controversial. One hypothesis, formalized in a prominent reinforcement learning account, holds that replay plans routes to current goals. However, recent puzzling data appear to contradict this perspective by showing that replayed destinations lag current goals. These results may support an alternative hypothesis that replay updates route information to build a “cognitive map.” Yet no similar theory exists to formalize this view, and it is unclear how such a map is represented or what role replay plays in computing it. We address these gaps by introducing a theory of replay that learns a map of routes to candidate goals, before reward is available or when its location may change. Our work extends the planning account to capture a general map-building function for replay, reconciling it with data, and revealing an unexpected relationship between the seemingly distinct hypotheses.
