Theta oscillations in human memory

NA Herweg, EA Solomon, MJ Kahana - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2020 - cell.com
Theta frequency (4–8 Hz) fluctuations of the local field potential have long been implicated
in learning and memory. Human studies of episodic memory, however, have provided mixed …

Oscillations and episodic memory: addressing the synchronization/desynchronization conundrum

S Hanslmayr, BP Staresina, H Bowman - Trends in neurosciences, 2016 - cell.com
Brain oscillations are one of the core mechanisms underlying episodic memory. However,
while some studies highlight the role of synchronized oscillatory activity, others highlight the …

Oscillatory power decreases and long-term memory: the information via desynchronization hypothesis

S Hanslmayr, T Staudigl, MC Fellner - Frontiers in human …, 2012 - frontiersin.org
The traditional belief is that brain oscillations are important for human long-term memory,
because they induce synchronized firing between cell assemblies which shapes synaptic …

Directional coupling of slow and fast hippocampal gamma with neocortical alpha/beta oscillations in human episodic memory

BJ Griffiths, G Parish, F Roux… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Episodic memories hinge upon our ability to process a wide range of multisensory
information and bind this information into a coherent, memorable representation. On a …

Thalamic pathways underlying prefrontal cortex–medial temporal lobe oscillatory interactions

NA Ketz, O Jensen, RC O'Reilly - Trends in neurosciences, 2015 - cell.com
As focus shifts to large-scale network interactions involved in memory, it is becoming
increasingly clear that oscillatory dynamics are critically involved. A number of studies have …

Theta oscillations support active exploration in human spatial navigation

ER Chrastil, C Rice, M Goncalves, KN Moore, SC Wynn… - NeuroImage, 2022 - Elsevier
Active navigation seems to yield better spatial knowledge than passive navigation, but it is
unclear how active decision-making influences learning and memory. Here, we examined …

Alpha/beta oscillations indicate inhibition of interfering visual memories

GT Waldhauser, M Johansson… - Journal of …, 2012 - Soc Neuroscience
Selective retrieval of a specific target memory often leads to the forgetting of related but
irrelevant memories. Current cognitive theory states that such retrieval-induced forgetting …

Recalling and forgetting dreams: theta and alpha oscillations during sleep predict subsequent dream recall

C Marzano, M Ferrara, F Mauro, F Moroni… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
Under the assumption that dream recall is a peculiar form of declarative memory, we have
hypothesized that (1) the encoding of dream contents during sleep should share some …

Beta oscillations reflect memory and motor aspects of spoken word production

V Piai, A Roelofs, J Rommers, E Maris - Human brain mapping, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Two major components form the basis of spoken word production: the access of conceptual
and lexical/phonological information in long‐term memory, and motor preparation and …

[HTML][HTML] Alpha power decreases associated with prediction in written and spoken sentence comprehension

P León-Cabrera, V Piai, J Morís, A Rodríguez-Fornells - Neuropsychologia, 2022 - Elsevier
Alpha and beta power decreases have been associated with prediction in a variety of
cognitive domains. Recent studies in sentence comprehension have also reported alpha …
