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 …

Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the
retention of memory. In this review we aim to comprehensively cover the field of “sleep and …

Entropy is a dimensionless quantity that is used for measuring uncertainty about the state of
a system but it can also imply physical qualities, where high entropy is synonymous with …

Theta and gamma frequency oscillations occur in the same brain regions and interact with
each other, a process called cross-frequency coupling. Here, we review evidence for the …

Most reward-related electroencephalogram (EEG) studies focus exclusively on the feedback-
related negativity (FRN, also known as feedback negativity or FN, medial-frontal negativity or …

A landmark account of the neurobiological basis of language—arguing that species-specific
brain differences may be at the root of the human capacity for language. Language makes …

Neural oscillations in the theta band (4–8 Hz) are prominent in the human
electroencephalogram (EEG), and many recent electrophysiological studies in animals and …

People often forget information because they fail to effectively encode it. Here, we test the
hypothesis that targeted electrical stimulation can modulate neural encoding states and …

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 …

Active learning is a critical component of human development, however, the mechanisms
supporting it are not fully understood. Given that early learning experiences may affect both …
