The last decade has seen dramatic technological and conceptual changes in research on
episodic memory and the brain. New technologies, and increased use of more naturalistic …

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

Although the future often seems intangible, we can make it more concrete by imagining
prospective events. Here, using functional MRI, we demonstrate a mechanism by which the …

We would like to thank our families for their patience and understanding as we took time off
to work on this book. We dedicate this book to Dr. Howard Eichenbaum, a leader in the field …

Episodic memories undergo qualitative changes with time, but little is known about how
different aspects of memory are affected. Different types of information in a memory, such as …

The ability to decouple from the present environment and explore other times is a central
feature of the human mind. Research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience has shown …

Events always unfold in a spatial context, leading to the claim that it serves as a scaffold for
encoding and retrieving episodic memories. The ubiquitous co-occurrence of spatial context …

Spatial context is a defining feature of episodic memories, which are often characterized as
being events occurring in specific spatiotemporal contexts. In this review, I summarize …

Some theories of episodic memory hypothesize that spatial context plays a fundamental role
in episodic memory, acting as a scaffold on which episodes are constructed. A prediction …

Early cognitive neuroscientific research revealed that the hippocampus is crucial for spatial
navigation in rodents, and for autobiographical episodic memory in humans. Researchers …
