Hippocampus responds to mismatches with predictions based on episodic memories but not generalised knowledge

This study shows the human hippocampus uses episodic memories, not generalised knowledge, to detect prediction errors during learning.

Post-encoding reactivation promotes one-shot learning of episodes in humans

This study shows that post-encoding memory reinstatement in humans predicts recall of meaningful episodic sequences but not shuffled ones.

Prestimulus Activity in the Cingulo-Opercular Network Predicts Memory for Naturalistic Episodic Experience

The paper shows that prestimulus activity in the cingulo-opercular network predicts memory for naturalistic episodic experiences by modulating encoding and retrieval processes.

The hippocampal film-editor: sensitivity and specificity to event boundaries in continuous experience

This paper investigates hippocampal activity during continuous experience, finding it sensitive and specific to event boundaries identified by observers.
