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

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 …

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 …

How are new experiences transformed into memories? Recent findings have shown that
activation in brain regions involved in the initial task performance reemerges during …

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 …

Not only poststimulus, but also prestimulus neural activity has been shown to be predictive for
later successful memory encoding. However, it is still not clear which medial temporal lobe …
