The brain creates a model of the world around us. We can use this representation to
perceive and comprehend what we see at any given moment, but also to vividly re …

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 …

Human reasoning depends on reusing pieces of information by putting them together in new
ways. However, very little is known about how compositional computation is implemented in …

The hippocampus appears to be crucial for long-term episodic memory, yet its precise role
remains elusive. Electrophysiological studies in rodents offer a useful starting point for …

It is well accepted that recognition memory reflects the contribution of two separable memory
retrieval processes, namely recollection and familiarity. However, fundamental questions …

Work with patient HM, beginning in the 1950s, established key principles about the
organization of memory that inspired decades of experimental work. Since HM, the study of …

Amnesic patients have a well established deficit in remembering their past experiences.
Surprisingly, however, the question as to whether such patients can imagine new …

It has recently been observed that the brain network supporting recall of episodic memories
shares much in common with other cognitive functions such as episodic future thinking …

We currently lack a unified and mechanistic account of how the hippocampus supports a
range of disparate cognitive functions that includes episodic memory, imagining the future …

In human and non-human animals, conceptual knowledge is partially organized according
to low-dimensional geometries that rely on brain structures and computations involved in …
