We rely on our long-term memories to guide future behaviors, making it adaptive to prioritize
the retention of goal-relevant, salient information in memory. In this review, we discuss …

The basal ganglia have traditionally been viewed as motor processing nuclei; however,
functional neuroimaging evidence has implicated these structures in more complex …

Structured knowledge is thought to form, in part, through the extraction and representation of
regularities across overlapping experiences. However, little is known about how …

We remember information that is congruent instead of incongruent with prior knowledge
better, but the underlying neural mechanisms related to this enhancement are still relatively …

The standard model of system-level consolidation posits that the hippocampus is part of a
retrieval network for recent memories. According to this theory, the memories are gradually …

The acquisition and retention of conceptual knowledge is more effective in well-structured
curricula that provide an optimal conceptual framework for learning new material. However …

“System-level memory consolidation theory” posits that the hippocampus an initially links the
neocortical representations, followed by a shift to a hippocampus-independent neocortical …

The cerebellum plays a key role not only in motor function but also in affect and cognition.
Although several psychopathological disorders have been associated with overall …

It is believed that neural representations of recent experiences become reactivated during
sleep, and that this process serves to stabilize associated memories in long-term memory …

Memory consolidation is hypothesized to involve the distribution and restructuring of
memory representations across hippocampal and cortical regions. Theories suggest that …
