Episodic future thinking (EFT) denotes our capacity to imagine prospective events. It has
been suggested to promote farsighted decisions that entail a trade-off between short-term …

Recent neurological evidence suggests that rats can mentally represent novel spatial

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 …

In the present study, we investigated the effect of medial temporal lobe (MTL) damage on
human decision making in the context of reward‐based intertemporal choice. During …

Many decisions require flexible reasoning that depends on inference, generalization, and
deliberation. Here, we review emerging findings indicating that the hippocampus, known for …
