The paper investigates how schematic false memories arise by comparing neural similarity between schematic targets and lures versus non-schematic lures.

Stimulating the medial prefrontal cortex disrupts inhibitory control over memory by modulating frontal and parietal brain regions

This study shows that stimulating the medial prefrontal cortex reduces retrieval-induced forgetting by disrupting inhibitory control, as indicated by changes in beta desynchronization in fronto-parietal regions.

Drawings reveal changes in object memory, but not spatial memory, across time

The paper examines how object and spatial memory change over time using drawings made from memory, finding that object memory degrades while spatial memory remains stable.

This study reanalyzes episodic memory data from 10 datasets to show how different drug classes uniquely affect recollection, familiarity, and metamemory during encoding, consolidation, and retrieval.

Age-related differences in fMRI subsequent memory effects are directly linked to local grey matter volume differences

The paper examines age-related differences in fMRI memory effects and links them to grey matter volume changes in older adults.

Dissociative effects of age on neural differentiation at the category and item level

The paper examines age-related neural dedifferentiation at category and item levels using fMRI data, finding distinct patterns of decline and associations with memory performance.

Using Recognition Testing to Support Semantic Learning in Developmental Amnesia

The paper shows that recognition memory, not recall, supports semantic learning in children with developmental amnesia.

Using large language models to study human memory for meaningful narratives

The paper uses large language models to design memory experiments and analyze human recall and recognition of narratives, finding linear scaling with length and preserved recognition in scrambled narratives.

Menopause status and within group differences in chronological age affect the functional neural correlates of spatial context memory in middle-aged females

Your place or mine? The neural dynamics of personally familiar scene recognition suggests category independent familiarity encoding

This study uses EEG and multivariate pattern analysis to show that familiarity with scenes and faces is decoded from neural signals with similar temporal dynamics, suggesting category-independent familiarity encoding.

Study-Phase Reinstatement

This study shows that spontaneous reactivation during encoding predicts memory recall, supporting rapid consolidation processes.

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.

Episodic boundaries affect neural features of representational drift in humans

This study examines how episodic boundaries influence neural features of representational drift in humans during a free recall task, showing regional differences in how drift is reset or used for memory association.

Adding meaning to memories: How parietal cortex combines semantic content with episodic experience

This study investigates how parietal cortex integrates episodic memory and semantic content using fMRI and encoding models, revealing additive and interactive effects in different regions.

Hippocampal-cortical functional connectivity during memory encoding and retrieval

This study identifies stable and task-specific hippocampal-cortical connectivity patterns during memory encoding and retrieval using fMRI data from two large-scale studies.
