The dentate gyrus (DG) has a key role in hippocampal memory formation. Intriguingly, DG
lesions impair many, but not all, hippocampus-dependent mnemonic functions, indicating …

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 …

Humans and animals use mental representations of the spatial structure of the world to
navigate. The classical view is that these representations take the form of Euclidean …

The mammalian hippocampus is important for normal memory function, particularly memory
for places and events. Place cells, neurons within the hippocampus that have spatial …

There is considerable research on the neurobiological mechanisms within the hippocampal
system that support spatial navigation. In this article I review the literature on navigational …

Memory systems consolidation is often conceived as the linear, time-dependent,
neurobiological shift of memory from hippocampal-cortical to cortico-cortical dependency …

The last decade has seen dramatic technological and conceptual changes in research on
episodic memory and the brain. New technologies, and increased use of more naturalistic …

An event memory is a mental construction of a scene recalled as a single occurrence. It
therefore requires the hippocampus and ventral visual stream needed for all scene …

Highlights•The nature of a memory trace, not its age, determines its hippocampal
dependence.•Remote memories rich in perceptual detail still engage the hippocampus …

▪ Abstract Episodic memory is a neurocognitive (brain/mind) system, uniquely different from
other memory systems, that enables human beings to remember past experiences. The …
