Brain oscillations are one of the core mechanisms underlying episodic memory. However,
while some studies highlight the role of synchronized oscillatory activity, others highlight the …

We propose a framework for the memory function of spindle oscillations during sleep. In this
framework, memories are reinstated by spindle events and further reprocessed during …

Episodic memory allows us to mentally travel through time. How does the brain convert a
simple reminder cue into a full-blown memory of past events and experiences? In this review, …

During systems-level consolidation, mnemonic representations initially reliant on the
hippocampus are thought to migrate to neocortical sites for more permanent storage, with an …

Recent neuroimaging studies have successfully identified encoding mechanisms that support
different forms of subsequent episodic recognition memory. In our everyday lives, however…

A fundamental goal in memory research is to understand what class of learning problem the
hippocampus is uniquely designed to solve. While much controversy surrounds the …

Learning and plasticity rely on fine-tuned regulation of neuronal circuits during offline periods.
An unresolved puzzle is how the sleeping brain, in the absence of external stimulation or …

The essence of episodic memory is our ability to reexperience past events in great detail,
even in the absence of external stimulus cues. Does the phenomenological reinstatement of …

Although the general role of the medial-temporal lobe (MTL) in episodic memory is well
established, controversy surrounds the precise division of labor between distinct MTL subregions…

How are brief encounters transformed into lasting memories? Previous research has established
the role of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, along with its electrophysiological …
