It has been well established that the hippocampus plays a pivotal role in explicit long-term
recognition memory. However, findings from amnesia, lesion and recording studies with non …

The ability to make predictions based on stored information is a general coding strategy. A
Prediction-Error (PE) is a mismatch between expected and current events. It was proposed …

The hippocampus is crucial for episodic memory, but it is also involved in online prediction.
Evidence suggests that a unitary hippocampal code underlies both episodic memory and …

Episodic memories are (re) constructed, share neural substrates with imagination, combine
unique features with schema-based predictions and show schema-based distortions that …

Abstract Changes in memory performance are one of the hallmark symptoms of mild
cognitive impairment and are affected by healthy aging as well. Pattern separation, which …

The function of the human hippocampus is normally investigated by experimental
manipulation of discrete events. Less is known about what triggers hippocampal activity …

Regularities are gradually represented in cortex after extensive experience [1], and yet they
can influence behavior after minimal exposure [2, 3]. What kind of representations support …

Abstract Concepts organize our experiences and allow for meaningful inferences in novel
situations. Acquiring new concepts requires extracting regularities across multiple learning …

The brain supports adaptive behavior by generating predictions, learning from errors, and
updating memories to incorporate new information. Prediction error, or surprise, triggers …

The ability to combine information acquired at different times to make novel inferences is a
powerful function of episodic memory. One perspective suggests that by retrieving related …
