This study investigates how spatial information is reactivated in the medial temporal lobe during episodic recall and identifies theta oscillations as a shared mechanism for spatial coding and memory retrieval.

The paper shows that hippocampal theta oscillations encode semantic and temporal distances between words during memory retrieval.

The paper analyzes 770 intracranial stimulation sessions to assess the risk of stimulation-induced seizures, finding 3-6% of sessions likely or possibly caused seizures with no adverse outcomes.

This study evaluates how data cleaning methods affect brain state classification in intracranial EEG and finds they reduce statistical power for detecting memory encoding.

The paper investigates spectral tilt during mathematical problem solving and finds that increased spectral tilt correlates with slower performance, suggesting it reflects information processing beyond simple attention.

This paper introduces a multivariate stochastic volatility model to analyze neural data, showing it can decode memory states and reveal brain region desynchronization during memory encoding.

The paper uses EEG data to show that recognition memory is based on a single integrated evidence signal rather than separate familiarity and recollection signals.

The paper investigates functional connectivity in the human medial temporal lobe during memory tasks, identifying theta-band synchronization and reorganization patterns associated with encoding and retrieval.

The paper shows that functional connectivity predicts changes in theta power from electrical stimulation, but only when stimulation occurs in or near white matter.

This study investigates memory performance variability and finds that prior list recall strongly predicts current performance, suggesting endogenous factors drive variability.

This study uses network control theory to predictably reconfigure brain network interactions through targeted neurostimulation in humans.

The paper proves that the forgetting function approaches a power law under general conditions and shows simulations support this fit across the entire time-course.
