A schema refers to a structured body of prior knowledge that captures common patterns
across related experiences. Schemas have been studied separately in the realms of …

Multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) has emerged as a powerful method for the analysis of
functional magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography and …

Although memory has long been recognized as a generative process, neural research of
memory in recent decades has been predominantly influenced by Tulving's “mental time …

With age, parasympathetic activity decreases, while sympathetic activity increases. Thus, the
typical older adult has low heart rate variability (HRV) and high noradrenaline levels …

What determines when neural representations of memories move together (integrate) or
apart (differentiate)? Classic supervised learning models posit that, when two stimuli predict …

Everyday life is composed of events organized by changes in contexts, with each event
containing an unfolding sequence of occurrences. A major challenge facing our memory …

Schemas provide a scaffold onto which we can integrate new memories. Previous research
has investigated the brain activity and connectivity underlying schema-related memory …

Schemas are rich and complex knowledge structures about the typical unfolding of events in
a context; for example, a schema of a dinner at a restaurant. In this Perspective, we suggest …

Recollection of real-world events is often accompanied by a sense of being in the place
where the event transpired. Convergent evidence suggests the hippocampus plays a key …

Recent experimental studies in the awake brain have identified a rule for synaptic plasticity
that is instrumental for the instantaneous creation of memory traces in area CA1 of the …
