This study shows that memories of complex narrative events are spontaneously reactivated during rest, but reactivation is linked to gist-like recall rather than strengthening episodic memory details.

This study uses fMRI to show that causality, not time or space, organizes episodic memory by revealing how the default mode network reflects causal relationships during event recall.

This study builds a neural network model of the EC-HPC system showing that EC2a supports pattern separation through recurrent inhibition and conjunctive coding, while EC2b/3 supports generalization.

This study weakens aversive memories during sleep by reactivating positive memories, reducing recall and increasing positive memory intrusions.

This paper shows that drift in temporal context representations in a hippocampal model enhances recall and explains spacing effects through decontextualization and error-driven learning.

The paper investigates how sleep reactivation affects memory transformation by improving distinguishing features while worsening shared features of object memories.

This study identifies item-specific memory reactivation during slow-wave sleep using EEG and shows its role in memory consolidation.

The paper investigates how long-term, multi-event surprise affects autobiographical memory by analyzing basketball fans' memories across different timescales.

The paper shows that multiple memories can be reactivated during sleep without reducing their consolidation benefits, suggesting parallel memory processing during sleep.

This study quantifies surprise during naturalistic sports viewing and identifies its behavioral, physiological, and neural correlates using basketball analytics and human observers.

The paper decodes memory reactivation content from sleep EEG, showing lateralized signals predict memory stabilization and correlate with spindles.

This study shows that memory consolidation during sleep involves competition and selective weakening, with beta power indicating competition-based forgetting and sigma power indicating memory strengthening.

The paper shows that sleep spindles create a refractory period that segments sleep into periods allowing and blocking memory reactivation.
