The neural representations underlying human episodic memory

G Xue - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2018 - cell.com
A fundamental question of human episodic memory concerns the cognitive and neural
representations and processes that give rise to the neural signals of memory. By integrating …

Electrophysiological mechanisms of human memory consolidation

H Zhang, J Fell, N Axmacher - Nature Communications, 2018 - nature.com
Consolidation stabilizes memory traces after initial encoding. Rodent studies suggest that
memory consolidation depends on replay of stimulus-specific activity patterns during fast …

Neural engagement with online educational videos predicts learning performance for individual students

SS Cohen, J Madsen, G Touchan, D Robles… - Neurobiology of learning …, 2018 - Elsevier
Online educational materials are largely disseminated through videos, and yet there is little

On curiosity: a fundamental aspect of personality, a practice of network growth

P Zurn, DS Bassett - Personality Neuroscience, 2018 - cambridge.org
Human personality is reflected in patterns—or networks—of behavior, either in thought or
action. Curiosity is an oft-treasured component of one's personality, commonly associated …

Dissociating neural markers of stimulus memorability and subjective recognition during episodic retrieval

WA Bainbridge, J Rissman - Scientific Reports, 2018 - nature.com
While much of memory research takes an observer-centric focus looking at participant
performance, recent work has pinpointed important item-centric effects on memory, or how …

Reduced fidelity of neural representation underlies episodic memory decline in normal aging

L Zheng, Z Gao, X Xiao, Z Ye, C Chen, G Xue - Cerebral Cortex, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Emerging studies have emphasized the importance of the fidelity of cortical representation in
forming enduring episodic memory. No study, however, has examined whether there are …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) facilitates verb learning by altering effective connectivity in the healthy brain

V Fiori, L Kunz, P Kuhnke, P Marangolo, G Hartwigsen - Neuroimage, 2018 - Elsevier
Recent studies have shown that the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) plays a key role in
language learning. Facilitatory stimulation over this region by means of anodal transcranial …

Single-exposure visual memory judgments are reflected in inferotemporal cortex

T Meyer, NC Rust - elife, 2018 - elifesciences.org
Our visual memory percepts of whether we have encountered specific objects or scenes
before are hypothesized to manifest as decrements in neural responses in inferotemporal …

Neural computations underlying causal structure learning

MS Tomov, HM Dorfman… - Journal of Neuroscience, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
Behavioral evidence suggests that beliefs about causal structure constrain associative
learning, determining which stimuli can enter into association, as well as the functional form …

Disrupted neural variability during propofol‐induced sedation and unconsciousness

Z Huang, J Zhang, J Wu, X Liu, J Xu… - Human brain …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
