Memory and perception both require selecting behaviorally relevant information. Here, the authors show that more distinct hippocampal memories are linked to precise anticipatory signals in visual cort...

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

The brain may use dopamine to expand time between distinct events, enabling us to remember unique episodes.

The stress-related hormone cortisol alters dynamic brain networks predicting memory and arousal to promote emotional memories.

Children’s ability to generalize from episodic memories varies by both age and the level of abstraction. Here, the authors show that lower level generalization increasingly depends on episodic memory with age, whereas higher level generalization shows no such relationship.

We must stand together to protect our students, staff, faculty and our mission.

The locus coeruleus works like a “reset” button that separates the memory of one meaningful event from the next.

The capacity to prevent unwanted thoughts is important for cognitive function and mental health. Anderson et al. describe insights into the neural mechanisms of the inhibitory control of thought that ...

Our memories do not simply keep time - they warp it, bending the past to fit the structure of our experiences. For example, people tend to remember items as occurring farther apart in time if they spa...

How are past experiences reconstructed from memory? Learning is thought to compress external inputs into low-dimensional hippocampal representations, later expanded into high-dimensional cortical acti...
