We show that valid spatial cues directing internal attention during long-term memory retrieval boost recall, while invalid cues incur costs. Our work offers a flexible experimental framework to study ...

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...

Categorization, the grouping of objects, living organisms, actions or events into equivalence clusters, is fundamental to adaptive behaviour. In this Perspective, Barrett and Miller discuss evidence t...

Abstract. The amygdala is considered crucial to the formation of emotional episodic memories, yet causal evidence in humans is limited due to challenges in noninvasive neuromodulation of deep brain st...

Memory routinely transforms continuous experience into discrete episodes that support flexible retrieval. We propose that these structured representations are established via rapid neural reactivation occurring at the completion of an event. A growing body of evidence across tasks and recording modalities shows that event termination elicits rapid reinstatement of recently encoded neural representations. We review findings revealing that end-of-event reactivation is a robust and functionally meaningful phenomenon, describing when it occurs, how it is measured, and which neural signatures characterize it. We propose that neural reactivation at event offsets offers an efficient neural mechanism for stabilizing newly formed traces against interference, binding relational features into a coherent event index, integrating episodes into pre-existing schemas, and preserving temporal continuity across events.

Brain oscillations are traditionally regarded as sustained rhythms. Here, the authors show that there are both high and low-rhythmicity bands, characterised by brief bursts, which can signal responses...

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...

Thompson, Rollik and colleagues show that, during sleep, the brain replays procedural memories in the striatum independently of the hippocampus. Replay content was shaped by prior reward and error out...

Abstract. Memory is often better for both highly unexpected and highly expected information. To explain this U-shape relationship between memory and expect

Gaze behavior and brain activity are tightly coupled during perception and mental imagery. Whether this coupling extends to eyes-closed states remains largely unknown, primarily because measuring eye ...

The human brain has the remarkable ability to comprehend and express similar concepts in multiple languages. To understand how it does so, we examined…

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.

Episodic memory organizes continuous experience into discrete events, often limiting integration across temporal gaps. Emotionally salient experiences, such as learning about threats, may nevertheless...

By combining magnetoencephalography and eye tracking, this study sheds light on why people fixate on some parts of natural scenes longer than others. Rather than visual complexity, fixation durations ...
