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 …

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 …

Retrieving a subset of items can cause the forgetting of other items, a phenomenon referred
to as retrieval-induced forgetting. According to some theorists, retrieval-induced forgetting is …

Prior studies, mostly using intentional learning, suggest that power increases in theta and
gamma oscillations and power decreases in alpha and beta oscillations are positively …

Episodic memories hinge upon our ability to process a wide range of multisensory
information and bind this information into a coherent, memorable representation. On a …

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 …

Active navigation seems to yield better spatial knowledge than passive navigation, but it is
unclear how active decision-making influences learning and memory. Here, we examined …

Selective retrieval of a specific target memory often leads to the forgetting of related but
irrelevant memories. Current cognitive theory states that such retrieval-induced forgetting …

Electrophysiological oscillations are assumed to be the core mechanism for large-scale
network communication. The specific role of frontal-midline theta oscillations as cognitive …

Selectively retrieving a subset of previously studied information enhances memory for the
retrieved information but causes forgetting of related, nonretrieved information. Such …
