The cognitive concept of representation plays a key role in theories of brain information
processing. However, linking neuronal activity to representational content and cognitive …

Recently, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of functional magnetic
resonance imaging studies seeking to answer questions about how the brain represents …

A fundamental principle in memory research is that memory is a function of the similarity
between encoding and retrieval operations. Consistent with this principle, many …

Intense debate surrounds the role of medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures in recognition
memory. Using high-resolution fMRI and analyses of pattern similarity in humans, we …

Repeated exposure to a visual stimulus is associated with corresponding reductions in
neural activity, particularly within visual cortical areas. It has been argued that this …

Although certain changes in the brain may reflect fear learning, there are no known markers
that indicate whether an aversive experience will develop into fear memory. We examined …

The hippocampal formation has been associated with a wide variety of functions including
spatial navigation and planning, memory encoding and retrieval, relational processing …

One central goal in cognitive neuroscience of learning and memory is to characterize the
neural processes that lead to long-lasting episodic memory. In addition to the stronger …

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) causes slight but noticeable disruption in cognitive
systems, primarily executive and memory functions. However, it is not clear if the …

First recognized in 1991 and finally termed such in 2007,“mast cell activation
