The human ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC)/anterior cingulate cortex is implicated in
reward and emotion, but also in memory. It is shown how the human orbitofrontal cortex …

Our brains constantly generate predictions about the environment based on prior
knowledge. Many of the events we experience are consistent with these predictions, while …

Humans can recollect past events in details (recollection) and/or know that an object,
person, or place has been encountered before (familiarity). During the last two decades …

Individuals generally form their unique memories from shared experiences, yet the neural
representational mechanisms underlying this subjectiveness of memory are poorly …

Memory is often conceived as a dynamic process that involves substantial transformations of
mental representations. However, the neural mechanisms underlying these transformations …

Cognitive and neuroimaging evidence suggests that episodic and semantic memory—
memory for autobiographical events and conceptual knowledge, respectively—support …

Memories undergo a time-dependent neural reorganization, which is assumed to be
accompanied by a transformation from detailed to more gist-like memory. However, the …

Stress influences episodic memory formation via noradrenaline and glucocorticoid effects on
amygdala and hippocampus. A common finding is the improvement of memory for central …

Although memory has long been recognized as a generative process, neural research of
memory in recent decades has been predominantly influenced by Tulving's “mental time …

Neural representations are internal brain states that constitute the brain's model of the
external world or some of its features. In the presence of sensory input, a representation may …
