This study uses EEG-fMRI fusion to show that visual object memory retrieval follows a backward spatio-temporal trajectory from conceptual to perceptual brain regions.

The paper demonstrates that the right anterior dorsolateral and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex dynamically shift inhibitory connectivity to suppress both actions and thoughts, supporting a domain-general inhibitory control mechanism.

The paper investigates whether autobiographical memory reactivation occurs during empathy, finding evidence through EEG and fMRI that AM reactivation is linked to higher empathy ratings.

The paper investigates age-related differences in interference detection during memory retrieval, finding that older adults show reduced theta power indicative of impaired interference detection and inability to suppress competitors.

This study investigates the neurocognitive mechanisms of retrieval-mediated learning using fMRI, finding that retrieval increases prefrontal cortex activity and decreases hippocampal activity, supporting a fast consolidation hypothesis.
