Substantial evidence from animal and human studies supports the hippocampus' role in pain, positioning it as a key contributor to the pain...

About 11% of the population is left-handed, a significant minority of the potential participant pool for functional MRI (fMRI) studies. However, convention in fMRI research dictates these potential pa...

Memory routinely transforms continuous experience into discrete episodes that support flexible retrieval. We propose that these structured representations are established via rapid neural reactivation...

Abstract. Prediction error during memory reactivation is posited to be a key driver of memory updating. However, prediction error leads to varied memory ou

When we encounter an exception to our prior category knowledge, such as a leaf-like butterfly that perceptually diverges from the butterflies we commonly see, we must update our knowledge to reconcile...

In daily life, we often draw inferences about novel associations from prior experiences. This ability, associative inference, is thought to be a ke...

Theories disagree whether environments with irregular layouts impair spatial memory or help us stay oriented. The authors show that spatial memory can be enhanced or disrupted depending on where we ar...

This study of a mnemonic technique found that highly effective memory is supported by “conjunctive” representations in the brain’s Default Mode Network, which reflects the unique, creative details use...

Wang et al. demonstrate that hippocampal-neocortical interactions reorganize much faster than traditionally thought. Using multiday intracranial recordings in humans, they show that after just 1 day of learning, the temporal sequence of coupled ripples reverses, with the neocortex leading the hippocampus. This suggests an early neocortical dominance in memory formation.

This study shows that greater similarity in recalled content was associated with stronger shared activation patterns at encoding and retrieval in prefrontal and temporal cortices.
