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 …

A review of neurobiological factors underlying the selective enhancement of memory at encoding, consolidation, and retrieval

R Crowley, D Bendor, AH Javadi - Progress in neurobiology, 2019 - Elsevier
How is the strength of a memory determined? This review discusses three main factors that
contribute to memory enhancement-1) emotion, 2) targeted memory reactivation, and 3) …

vmPFC drives hippocampal processing during autobiographical memory recall regardless of remoteness

C McCormick, DN Barry, A Jafarian, GR Barnes… - Cerebral …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Our ability to recall past experiences, autobiographical memories (AMs), is crucial to

Hippocampal theta oscillations support successful associative memory formation

S Kota, MD Rugg, BC Lega - Journal of Neuroscience, 2020 - Soc Neuroscience
Models of memory formation posit that episodic memory formation depends critically on the
hippocampus, which binds features of an event to its context. For this reason, the contrast …

The neural dynamics of novel scene imagery

DN Barry, GR Barnes, IA Clark… - Journal of …, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
Retrieval of long-term episodic memories is characterized by synchronized neural activity
between hippocampus and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), with additional …

Spectral fingerprints or spectral tilt? Evidence for distinct oscillatory signatures of memory formation

MC Fellner, S Gollwitzer, S Rampp, G Kreiselmeyr… - PLoS …, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Decreases in low-frequency power (2–30 Hz) alongside high-frequency power increases (>
40 Hz) have been demonstrated to predict successful memory formation. Parsimoniously …

The method of loci in virtual reality: explicit binding of objects to spatial contexts enhances subsequent memory recall

N Reggente, JKY Essoe, HY Baek… - Journal of Cognitive …, 2020 - Springer
The method of loci (MoL) is a well-known mnemonic technique in which visuospatial spatial
environments are used to scaffold the memorization of non-spatial information. We …

The neural dynamics of deficient memory control in heavily traumatized refugees

GT Waldhauser, MJ Dahl, M Ruf-Leuschner… - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
Victims of war, torture and natural catastrophes are prone to develop posttraumatic stress
disorder (PTSD). These individuals experience the recurrent, involuntary intrusion of …

The sync/desync model: How a synchronized hippocampus and a desynchronized neocortex code memories

G Parish, S Hanslmayr, H Bowman - Journal of Neuroscience, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
Neural oscillations are important for memory formation in the brain. The desynchronization
of alpha (10 Hz) oscillations in the neocortex has been shown to predict successful memory …

The precuneus as a central node in declarative memory retrieval

VL Flanagin, S Klinkowski, S Brodt, M Graetsch… - Cerebral …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Both, the hippocampal formation and the neocortex are contributing to declarative memory,
but their functional specialization remains unclear. We investigated the differential …
