Eye movements in Alzheimer's disease

RJ Molitor, PC Ko, BA Ally - Journal of Alzheimer's disease, 2015 - content.iospress.com
A growing body of literature has investigated changes in eye movements as a result of
Alzheimer's disease (AD). When compared to healthy, age-matched controls, patients display a …

Pattern separation and pattern completion in Alzheimer's disease: evidence of rapid forgetting in amnestic mild cognitive impairment

BA Ally, EP Hussey, PC Ko, RJ Molitor - Hippocampus, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Over the past four decades, the characterization of memory loss associated with Alzheimer's
disease (AD) has been extensively debated. Recent iterations have focused on disordered …

Memory reactivation during learning simultaneously promotes dentate gyrus/CA2, 3 pattern differentiation and CA1 memory integration

RJ Molitor, KR Sherrill, NW Morton… - Journal of …, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
Events that overlap with previous experience may trigger reactivation of existing memories.
However, such reactivation may have different representational consequences within the …

Memory‐related eye movements challenge behavioral measures of pattern completion and pattern separation

RJ Molitor, PC Ko, EP Hussey, BA Ally - Hippocampus, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The hippocampus creates distinct episodes from highly similar events through a process
called pattern separation and can retrieve memories from partial or degraded cues through a …

[HTML][HTML] Abrupt hippocampal remapping signals resolution of memory interference

G Wanjia, SE Favila, G Kim, RJ Molitor… - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
Remapping refers to a decorrelation of hippocampal representations of similar spatial
environments. While it has been speculated that remapping may contribute to the resolution of …

Representations of temporal community structure in hippocampus and precuneus predict inductive reasoning decisions

…, DM Hinojosa-Rowland, RJ Molitor… - Journal of Cognitive …, 2022 - direct.mit.edu
Our understanding of the world is shaped by inferences about underlying structure. For
example, at the gym, you might notice that the same people tend to arrive around the same time …

Generalization of cognitive maps across space and time

KR Sherrill, RJ Molitor, AB Karagoz, M Atyam… - Cerebral …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Prominent theories posit that associative memory structures, known as cognitive maps,
support flexible generalization of knowledge across cognitive domains. Here, we evince a …

[HTML][HTML] Understanding age-related reductions in visual working memory capacity: Examining the stages of change detection

PC Ko, B Duda, E Hussey, E Mason, RJ Molitor… - Attention, Perception, & …, 2014 - Springer
Visual working memory (VWM) capacity is reduced in older adults. Research has shown age-related
impairments to VWM encoding, but aging is likely to affect multiple stages of VWM. …

[HTML][HTML] Family history of Alzheimer's disease is associated with impaired perceptual discrimination of novel objects

EJ Mason, EP Hussey, RJ Molitor… - Journal of …, 2017 - content.iospress.com
Early detection may be the key to developing therapies that will combat Alzheimer’s disease
(AD). It has been consistently demonstrated that one of the main pathologies of AD, tau, is …

Differentiation of related events in hippocampus supports memory reinstatement in development

NL Varga, HE Roome, RJ Molitor, L Martinez… - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Memories for similar experiences can be either differentiated or integrated in the adult brain
to support later memory retrieval and memory–based decision making. Yet how children …
