Dynamic shifts between pattern separation and reinstatement in human CA3 and dentate gyrus

This study shows that pattern separation and reinstatement in the hippocampus dynamically shift based on stimulus similarity and hippocampal position during memory encoding.

When knowledge interferes with perception: Neural mechanisms of the semantic amplification of visual false memory

This study investigates how semantic information affects visual false memory using fMRI, revealing distinct neural pathways that bias memory toward perceptual specificity or semantic generalization.

Effects of aging on successful object encoding:Enhanced semantic representations compensate for impaired visual representations

This study investigates how aging affects visual and semantic representations during object encoding and their impact on memory, finding that older adults enhance semantic representations to compensate for reduced visual ones.

Perceptual and Semantic Representations at Encoding Contribute to True and False Recognition of Objects

The paper uses fMRI and representational similarity analysis to show that both perceptual and semantic representations contribute to true and false recognition of objects, with fine-grained features aiding accurate recall and coarse categories linked to forgetting.
