Stimulus-specific recruitment of human amygdala neurons predicts episodic memory encoding success

The paper shows that specific amygdala neurons in humans fire more during encoding of items later remembered, predicting episodic memory success, particularly in the right amygdala.

Cellular code for mnemonic pattern separation in the human hippocampus is revealed by false memories

The paper identifies memory selective neurons in the human hippocampus that correlate with pattern separation and show behavioral relevance in episodic memory.

Disrupting selective persistent activity with electrical stimulation impairs human working memory

This study shows that disrupting selective persistent neural activity in the hippocampus and ventral temporal cortex with electrical stimulation impairs human working memory performance.

Persistent activity during working memory maintenance predicts long-term memory formation in the human hippocampus

This study shows that persistent hippocampal activity during working memory maintenance predicts long-term memory formation in humans.

Phase-Dependent Stimulation of the Hippocampus: A Computational Modeling Approach

This study uses a computational model to show phase-dependent stimulation can modulate theta-gamma coupling in the hippocampus, with implications for treating memory disorders.

Control of working memory maintenance by theta-gamma phase amplitude coupling of human hippocampal neurons

This study investigates how theta-gamma phase amplitude coupling in the hippocampus supports working memory by integrating cognitive control and improving memory fidelity.

Phase-Amplitude Coupling Detection and Analysis of Human 2-Dimensional Neural Cultures in Multi-well Microelectrode Array in Vitro

The paper analyzes phase-amplitude coupling in human 2D neural cultures to show that network-level interactions, not single neurons, drive coupling, suggesting PAC is a fundamental property of neural networks.

Theta-Gamma Phase-Amplitude Coupling Supports Working Memory Performance in the Human Hippocampus

This study investigates theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling in the human hippocampus during a working memory task and finds it correlates with memory performance, particularly during retrieval.
