The discovery of the default mode network (DMN) has revolutionized our understanding of
the workings of the human brain. Here, I review developments that led to the discovery of the …

The default mode network (DMN) is a set of widely distributed brain regions in the parietal,
temporal and frontal cortex. These regions often show reductions in activity during attention …

The posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) is one of the least understood regions of the cerebral
cortex. By contrast, the anterior cingulate cortex has been the subject of intensive …

Although every life event is unique, there are considerable commonalities across events.
However, little is known about whether or how the brain flexibly represents information about …

The last decade has produced exciting new ideas about retrosplenial cortex (RSC) and its
role in integrating diverse inputs. Here, we review the diversity in forms of spatial and …

In Alzheimer's disease, post-mortem studies have shown that the first cortical site where
neurofibrillary tangles appear is the transentorhinal region, a subregion within the medial …

We propose that older adults' ability to retrieve episodic autobiographical events, although
often viewed through a lens of decline, reveals much about what is preserved and prioritized …

Conventional views of brain organization suggest that regions at the top of the cortical
hierarchy processes internally oriented information using an abstract amodal neural code …

When we remember events, we often do not only recall individual events, but also the
connections between them. However, extant research has focused on how humans segment …

Recent human behavioral and neuroimaging results suggest that people are selective in
when they encode and retrieve episodic memories. To explain these findings, we trained a …
