The angular gyrus (AG) region of lateral parietal cortex has been implicated in a wide variety
of tasks and functions, generating numerous influential theories. However, these theories …

Spatial navigation and memory are often seen as heavily intertwined at the cognitive and
neural levels of analysis. We review models that hypothesize a central role for the medial …

Although every life event is unique, there are considerable commonalities across events.
However, little is known about whether or how the brain flexibly represents information about …

Regions of transmodal cortex, in particular the default mode network (DMN), have
historically been argued to serve functions unrelated to task performance, in part because of …

Our ability to remember or imagine specific events involves the construction of complex
mental representations, a process that engages cortical and hippocampal regions in a core …

Is activity in prefrontal cortex (PFC) critical for conscious perception? Major theories of
consciousness make distinct predictions about the role of PFC, providing an opportunity to …

When environments lack compelling goals, humans often let their minds wander to thoughts
with greater personal relevance; however, we currently do not understand how this context …

Almost all models of visual memory implicitly assume that errors in mnemonic
representations are linearly related to distance in stimulus space. Here we show that neither …

Memories are believed to be encoded by sparse ensembles of neurons in the brain.
However, it remains unclear whether there is functional heterogeneity within individual …

Metacognition is the capacity to evaluate and control one's own cognitive processes.
Metacognition operates over a range of cognitive domains, such as perception and memory …
