[PDF][PDF] Direct brain stimulation modulates encoding states and memory performance in humans
People often forget information because they fail to effectively encode it. Here, we test the
hypothesis that targeted electrical stimulation can modulate neural encoding states and …

[HTML][HTML] Closed-loop stimulation of temporal cortex rescues functional networks and improves memory
Memory failures are frustrating and often the result of ineffective encoding. One approach to
improving memory outcomes is through direct modulation of brain activity with electrical …

The enigmatic temporal pole: a review of findings on social and emotional processing
The function of the anterior-most portion of the temporal lobes, the temporal pole, is not well
understood. Anatomists have long considered it part of an extended limbic system based on …

What constitutes an episode in episodic memory?
The idea of episodic memory implies the existence of a process that segments experience
into episodes so that they can be stored in memory. It is therefore surprising that the link …

[PDF][PDF] Similarity breeds proximity: pattern similarity within and across contexts is related to later mnemonic judgments of temporal proximity
Experiences unfold over time, but little is known about the mechanisms that support the formation
of coherent episodic memories for temporally extended events. Recent work in animals …

Episodic sequence memory is supported by a theta–gamma phase code
The meaning we derive from our experiences is not a simple static extraction of the elements
but is largely based on the order in which those elements occur. Models propose that …

[PDF][PDF] Direct electrical stimulation of the human entorhinal region and hippocampus impairs memory
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has shown promise for treating a range of brain disorders and
neurological conditions. One recent study showed that DBS in the entorhinal region …

Perceptual boundaries cause mnemonic trade-offs between local boundary processing and across-trial associative binding.
Episodic memories are not veridical records of our lives, but rather are better described as
organized summaries of experience. Theories and empirical research suggest that shifts in …

Evidence for verbal memory enhancement with electrical brain stimulation in the lateral temporal cortex
…, BM Berry, LR Miller, F Khadjevand, Y Ezzyat… - Brain, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Direct electrical stimulation of the human brain can elicit sensory and motor perceptions as
well as recall of memories. Stimulating higher order association areas of the lateral temporal …

Electrical stimulation in hippocampus and entorhinal cortex impairs spatial and temporal memory
The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is widely implicated in supporting episodic memory and
navigation, but its precise functional role in organizing memory across time and space remains …
