The paper shows that left ventral temporal pole lesions impair verbal emotional memory but not neutral memory, while right lesions affect visual emotional memory, highlighting a lateralized role in emotional memory.

The paper shows that during retrieval of aversive memories, the hippocampus reactivates gamma activity patterns from encoding, which originate in the amygdala, suggesting a hippocampus-centered mechanism for memory retrieval.

The paper shows that hippocampal ripples predict visual stimulus unpredictability and modulate cortical responses in humans.
