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 …

Many attempts have been made to localize the physical trace of a memory, or engram, in the
brain. However, until recently, engrams have remained largely elusive. In this Review, we …

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 detail and representation of a spatial layout varies with scale. This affects an individual's
learning effectiveness and understanding, in turn directly influencing their behavior in a fire …

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 …

The mammalian hippocampal formation contains several distinct populations of neurons
involved in representing self-position and orientation. These neurons, which include place …

When new learning occurs against the background of established prior knowledge, relevant
new information can be assimilated into a schema and thereby expand the knowledge base …

Memory encoding occurs rapidly, but the consolidation of memory in the neocortex has long
been held to be a more gradual process. We now report, however, that systems …

With time and experience, memories undergo a process of reorganization that involves
different neuronal networks, known as systems consolidation. The traditional view, as …
