Schemas are superordinate knowledge structures that reflect abstracted commonalities
across multiple experiences, exerting powerful influences over how events are perceived …

Among the rhythms of the brain, oscillations in the beta frequency range (∼ 13–30 Hz) have
been considered the most enigmatic. Traditionally associated with sensorimotor functions …

Highlights•The nature of a memory trace, not its age, determines its hippocampal
dependence.•Remote memories rich in perceptual detail still engage the hippocampus …

Episodic memories are information-rich, often multisensory events that rely on binding
different elements [1]. The elements that will constitute a memory episode are processed in …

Episodic memory is thought to critically depend on interaction of the hippocampus with
distributed brain regions [1–3]. Specific contributions of distinct networks have been …

Biological systems often detect species-specific signals in the environment. In humans,
speech and language are species-specific signals of fundamental biological importance. To …

Sentences are easier to remember than random word sequences, likely because linguistic
regularities facilitate chunking of words into meaningful groups. The present …

Learning complex ordering relationships between sensory events in a sequence is
fundamental for animal perception and human communication. While it is known that …

The ventral medial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) has long been implicated in monitoring of
memory veracity, and more recently also in memory schema functions. In our model of …

Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) is hypothesized to coordinate neural activity, but its role in
successful memory formation in the human cortex is unknown. Measures of PAC are difficult …
