BACKGROUND The idea that memory is stored as enduring changes in the brain dates
back at least to the time of Plato and Aristotle (circa 350 BCE), but its scientific articulation …

Our daily lives unfold continuously, yet when we reflect on the past, we remember those
experiences as distinct and cohesive events. To understand this phenomenon, early …

Our brains constantly generate predictions about the environment based on prior
knowledge. Many of the events we experience are consistent with these predictions, while …

Memories for events are thought to be represented in sparse, distributed neuronal
ensembles (or engrams). In this article, we review how neurons are chosen to become part …

While memories are often thought of as flashbacks to a previous experience, they do not
simply conserve veridical representations of the past but must continually integrate new …

How memories are organized in the brain influences whether they are remembered
discretely versus linked with other experiences or whether generalized information is …

Concept learning, the ability to extract commonalities and highlight distinctions across a set
of related experiences to build organized knowledge, is a critical aspect of cognition …

Memory-based cognition depends on both the ability to remember specific details of
individual experiences and the ability to combine information across experiences to …

Memories are thought to be stored in neuronal ensembles referred to as engrams. Studies
have suggested that when two memories occur in quick succession, a proportion of their …

Prior work has shown that the brain represents memories within a cognitive map that
supports inference about connections between individual related events. Real-world …
