Memory faces a fundamental challenge. It has to become flexible enough to be accessed by novel cues without losing the specific information that defines each individual episode. Whether memory transfo...

Interactions between the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus (HPC) are crucial for flexible and memory guided behaviour. Because there are no direct projections from PFC to HPC, it is widely presu...

Episodic memories are highly dynamic and change in nonlinear ways over time. This dynamism is not captured by existing systems consolidation theories …

Testing items in working memory improves long-term memory, especially for deprioritized items. This benefit shows when WM retrieval requires continuous recall, suggesting self-generated reports streng...

Translational Psychiatry - Goal-directed behavior and hippocampal activity predict real-life impact of drinking intentions in alcohol use disorder

Humans can implicitly learn about multistep sequential relationships between events in the environment from their statistical co-occurrence. Theore...

Scientific Reports - Model-based exploration is measurable across tasks but not linked to personality and psychiatric assessments

To the Editor Chowdhury et al1 evaluated a biomarker for pain sensitivity, combining peak alpha frequency and corticomotor excitability. The authors report outstanding performance (validation set area...

Author summary The hippocampus is a brain region which plays a crucial role in spatial navigation for both animals and humans. Contemporarily, it’s thought to store predictive representations of the e...

Two EEG studies in healthy human adults suggest that choice history and stimulus probability-induced biases in somatosensory perception are reflected in distinct prestimulus beta power modulations acr...

Navigating uncertainty is crucial for survival, with the location and availability of reward varying in different and unsignalled ways. Hippocampal place cell populations over-represent salient locati...

Author summary Learning experiments in the laboratory are often assumed to exist in a vacuum, where participants solve a given task independently of how they learn in more natural circumstances. But h...

Author summary Insights, or aha-moments, are a remarkable phenomenon in human cognition that is unique in a number of ways: they are accompanied by a powerful subjective experience, occur abruptly aft...
