Previous studies have shown that the ventral medial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) plays an
important role in schema-related memory. However, there is an intensive debate to what …

Repetition learning is an efficient way to enhance memory performance in our daily lives
and educational practice. However, it is unclear to what extent repetition or multiple …

When encoding new episodic memories, visual and semantic processing is proposed to
make distinct contributions to accurate memory and memory distortions. Here, we used fMRI …

Contrary to traditional theories of declarative memory, it has recently been shown that novel,
arbitrary associations can rapidly and directly be integrated into cortical memory networks by …

Schizophrenia is a chronic disease affecting 1% worldwide population, of which 30% are
refractory to the available treatments: thus, searching for new pharmacological targets is …

Intra-species cognitive variation is commonly observed, but explanations for why individuals
within a species differ in cognition are still understudied and not yet clear. Cognitive …

Throughout their lives, humans encounter multiple instances of new information that can be
inconsistent with prior knowledge (novel). Over time, the once-novel information becomes …

Our ability to automatically learn environmental regularities over time to make predictions
about the world is central to human cognition and behaviour. Despite its importance, the …

Mnemonic precision refers to the degree of fidelity with which we represent the details of our
past experiences. Maintaining a high level of mnemonic precision allows us to distinguish …

Every memory researcher will tell you that memory retrieval does not function like a tape
recorder. Rather, memory retrieval is fallible and prone to inaccuracies. A false memory is a …
