To date, fMRI research has been concerned primarily with evincing generic principles of
brain function through averaging data from multiple subjects. Given rapid developments in …

Prevailing theories of hippocampal function argue that memories are rapidly encoded by
non-overlap** memory traces. Concurrently, the hippocampus has been argued to …

Reward motivation is known to modulate memory encoding, and this effect depends on
interactions between the substantia nigra/ventral tegmental area complex (SN/VTA) and the …

Attention influences what is later remembered, but little is known about how this occurs in
the brain. We hypothesized that behavioral goals modulate the attentional state of the …

The quintessential memory system in the human brain—the hippocampus and surrounding
medial temporal lobe—is often treated as a module for the formation of conscious, or …

Our daily experiences unfold continuously, but we remember them as a series of discrete
events through a process called event segmentation. Prominent theories of event …

Attention and memory are intricately linked, but how attention modulates brain areas that
subserve memory, such as the hippocampus, is unknown. We hypothesized that attention …

Attention has historically been studied in the context of sensory systems, with the aim of
understanding how information in the environment affects the deployment of attention and …

The hippocampus has been a focus of memory research since H. M's surgery abolished his
ability to form new memories, yet its mechanistic role in memory remains debated. Here, we …

Prior research suggests that episodic memory can guide value-based decisions when single
episodes are encoded in relation to the specific reward-context in which they were …
