How past experiences are reconstructed from memory remains unclear. Here the authors used intracranial EEG to show that hippocampal ripples reshape the geometry of cortical representations, supporting...

Nature Human Behaviour - Biba et al. show that episodic memory encoding fluctuates at a theta rhythm of 3–10 Hz.

Abstract. While statistical word learning has been the focus of many studies on monolinguals, it has received little attention in bilinguals. The results o

Once swearwords were dismissed as a sign of low intelligence, now researchers argue the ‘power’ of taboo words has been overlooked

Abstract. Semantic composition allows us to construct complex meanings (e.g., “dog house”, “house dog”) from simpler constituents (“dog”, “house”). Neuroim

Humans can create completely new concepts through semantic composition. These ‘conceptual combinations’ can be created by attributing the features of one concept to another (e.g., a lemon flamingo mig...

Semantic composition allows us to construct complex meanings (e.g., ''dog house'', ''house dog'') from simpler constituents (''dog'', ''house''). So far, neuroimaging studies have mostly relied on hig...

Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as candidate models of human semantics, and as such, they must be able to account for conceptual combination. This work explores the ability of two LLM...
