Stress drives the hippocampus to prioritize statistical prediction over episodic encoding

This study shows acute stress shifts hippocampal processing from episodic encoding to statistical learning, enhancing predictive feature representation and suppressing pattern separation.

Hippocampal mechanisms support cortisol-induced memory enhancements

This study investigates how cortisol affects hippocampal mechanisms supporting memory encoding, finding enhanced functional connectivity and altered representation patterns that predict memory improvements for emotional information.

Statistical learning in epilepsy: Behavioral, anatomical, and causal mechanisms in the human brain

This study investigates statistical learning in epilepsy patients and healthy controls, finding that hippocampal volume and direct stimulation affect performance, while seizure frequency correlates with task performance.

Online abstraction during statistical learning revealed by neural entrainment from intracranial recordings

The paper shows that neural entrainment during statistical learning reveals online abstraction by detecting both exemplar and category-level regularities in intracranial recordings.

Mnemonic content and hippocampal patterns shape judgments of time

The paper investigates how memory accessibility and hippocampal patterns influence temporal duration judgments through behavioral and fMRI experiments.

Temporal dynamics of competition between statistical learning and episodic memory in intracranial recordings of human visual cortex

The paper uses intracranial EEG to study how prediction from statistical learning interferes with episodic memory in human visual cortex, showing that predicted items are more likely to be forgotten.

Remembering the pattern: A longitudinal case study on statistical learning in spatial navigation and memory consolidation

This study investigates how statistical learning in spatial navigation shifts from hippocampal to medial prefrontal cortex representation over time using longitudinal iEEG data from an epilepsy patient.

Statistical prediction of the future impairs episodic encoding of the present

The paper shows that the brain prioritizes prediction over encoding of current experiences, with the hippocampus mediating this interference between statistical learning and episodic memory.
