The effect of object type on building scene imagery - an MEG study

This study uses MEG to show that space-defining objects elicit distinct neural responses in vmPFC and STG during scene construction compared to space-ambiguous objects.

Does hippocampal volume explain performance differences on hippocampal-dependent tasks?

This study investigates whether hippocampal grey matter volume correlates with performance on hippocampal-dependent tasks in healthy adults and finds little evidence of such a relationship.

Characterising strategy use during the performance of hippocampal-dependent tasks

The paper examines the strategies used by participants to perform hippocampal-dependent tasks and finds that scene visual imagery is a dominant strategy across multiple cognitive tasks.

The role of hippocampal-vmPFC neural dynamics in building mental representations

This study investigates how hippocampal and vmPFC neural dynamics contribute to the construction of mental representations, finding distinct theta power modulation during scene versus array imagery.

Identifying the cognitive processes underpinning hippocampal-dependent tasks

The paper investigates the relationship between autobiographical memory, future thinking, and spatial navigation, finding that scene construction, not memory, mediates their interrelation.
