Episodic memory retrieval success is associated with rapid replay of episode content
G. Elliott Wimmer, Yunzhe Liu, Neza Vehar…·Raymond J. Dolan
The paper shows that successful retrieval of episodic memories involves compressed sequential replay of memory elements, which direction depends on task goals.

Measuring Sequences of Representations with Temporally Delayed Linear Modelling
Yunzhe Liu, Raymond J. Dolan, Héctor Penagos…·Timothy E.J. Behrens
This paper introduces TDLM, a toolkit for analyzing neural activity sequences, showing its ability to detect human replay during rest using MEG data and parallels to rodent hippocampal replay.

The hippocampus and neocortical inhibitory engrams protect against memory interference
Renée S. Koolschijn, Uzay E. Emir, Alexandros C. Pantelides…·Helen Catharine Barron
This study identifies two mechanisms involving the hippocampus and neocortex that protect against memory interference by organizing contextual representations and modulating neocortical inhibition.

Intuitive planning: global navigation through cognitive maps based on grid-like codes
Alon Boaz Baram, Timothy Müller, James C. R. Whittington, Timothy E.J. Behrens
The paper proposes that grid-like codes can encode global navigation information through cognitive maps, enabling intuitive planning without extensive lookahead.

Simultaneous representation of a spectrum of dynamically changing value estimates during decision making
David Meder, Nils Kolling, Lennart Verhagen…·Matthew F. S. Rushworth
The paper shows that four brain regions represent value estimates on different time-scales, interacting to support flexible decision-making.

Inhibitory Engrams In Perception And Memory.
Helen Catharine Barron, Tim P. Vogels, Timothy E.J. Behrens, Mani Ramaswami
This paper explores the role of inhibitory engrams in perception and memory, showing they regulate behavior and memory storage through balanced neural activity.
