Learning and interpreting the structure of the environment is an innate feature of biological
systems, and is integral to guiding flexible behaviors for evolutionary viability. The concept of …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) enables non-invasive access to the awake,
behaving human brain. By tracking whole-brain signals across a diverse range of cognitive …

Social memory consists of two processes: the detection of familiar compared with novel
conspecifics and the detailed recollection of past social episodes. We investigated the …

The ability to form precise, episodic memories develops with age, with young children only
able to form gist-like memories that lack precision. The cellular and molecular events in the …

Recently an influx of studies claims emergent cognitive abilities in large language models
(LLMs). Yet, most rely on anecdotes, overlook contamination of training sets, or lack …

Neuroscience research is undergoing a minor revolution. Recent advances in machine
learning and artificial intelligence research have opened up new ways of thinking about …

While the visual environment contains massive amounts of information, we should not and
cannot pay attention to all events. Instead, we need to direct attention to those events that …

Statistical learning (SL) is involved in a wide range of basic and higher-order cognitive
functions and is taken to be an important building block of virtually all current theories of …

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

Memory retrieval involves the interaction between external sensory or internally generated
cues and stored memory traces (or engrams) in a process termed 'ecphory'. While ecphory …
