What mechanisms underlie flexible inter-areal communication in the cortex? We consider
four mechanisms for temporal coordination and their contributions to communication:(1) …

Theta frequency (4–8 Hz) fluctuations of the local field potential have long been implicated
in learning and memory. Human studies of episodic memory, however, have provided mixed …

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) via implanted electrodes is used worldwide to treat patients
with severe neurological and psychiatric disorders. However, its invasiveness precludes …

Advances in technologies that can record and stimulate deep brain activity in humans have
led to impactful discoveries within the field of neuroscience and contributed to the …

The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is known to support episodic memory and spatial
navigation, raising the possibility that its true function is to form “cognitive maps” of any kind …

Both the hippocampus and amygdala are involved in working memory (WM) processing.
However, their specific role in WM is still an open question. Here, we simultaneously …

Neural oscillations play an important role in the integration and segregation of brain regions
that are important for brain functions, including pain. Disturbances in oscillatory activity are …

Investigations using noninvasive functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have
provided significant insights into the unique functional organization and profound …

By recording neural activity directly from the human brain, researchers gain unprecedented
insight into how neurocognitive processes unfold in real time. We first briefly discuss how …

The hippocampus is the canonical memory system in the brain and is not typically
considered part of the visual system. Yet, it sits atop the ventral visual stream and has been …
