How schema and novelty augment memory formation

MTR Van Kesteren, DJ Ruiter, G Fernández… - Trends in …, 2012 - cell.com
Information that is congruent with existing knowledge (a schema) is usually better
remembered than less congruent information. Only recently, however, has the role of …

Norepinephrine ignites local hotspots of neuronal excitation: How arousal amplifies selectivity in perception and memory

M Mather, D Clewett, M Sakaki… - Behavioral and Brain …, 2016 - cambridge.org
Emotional arousal enhances perception and memory of high-priority information but impairs
processing of other information. Here, we propose that, under arousal, local glutamate levels …

Mechanisms and functions of theta rhythms

LL Colgin - Annual review of neuroscience, 2013 - annualreviews.org
The theta rhythm is one of the largest and most sinusoidal activity patterns in the brain. Here
I survey progress in the field of theta rhythms research. I present arguments supporting the …

[HTML][HTML] Fear and safety engage competing patterns of theta-gamma coupling in the basolateral amygdala

JM Stujenske, E Likhtik, MA Topiwala, JA Gordon - Neuron, 2014 - cell.com
Theta oscillations synchronize the basolateral amygdala (BLA) with the hippocampus (HPC)
and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) during fear expression. The role of gamma-frequency …

Oscillations and hippocampal–prefrontal synchrony

LL Colgin - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2011 - Elsevier
The hippocampus, a structure required for many types of memory, connects to the medial
prefrontal cortex, an area that helps direct neuronal information streams during intentional …

Persistent schema-dependent hippocampal-neocortical connectivity during memory encoding and postencoding rest in humans

MTR Van Kesteren, G Fernández… - Proceedings of the …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
The hippocampus is thought to promote gradual incorporation of novel information into long-
term memory by binding, reactivating, and strengthening distributed cortical-cortical …

Theta oscillations in the medial prefrontal cortex are modulated by spatial working memory and synchronize with the hippocampus through its ventral subregion

PK O'Neill, JA Gordon, T Sigurdsson - Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
The rodent medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is critical for spatial working memory (SWM), but
the underlying neural processes are incompletely understood. During SWM tasks, neural …
