The roles of the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (PFC) in memory processing—
individually or in concert—are a major topic of interest in memory research. These brain …

The precise functional role of the hippocampus remains a topic of much debate. The
dominant view is that the dorsal (or posterior) hippocampus is implicated in memory and …

We use mental models of the world—cognitive maps—to guide behavior. The lateral
orbitofrontal cortex (lOFC) is typically thought to support behavior by deploying these maps …

The challenge in understanding cognitive impairment in schizophrenia is that people with
this illness have deficits in an array of domains. Here, we briefly review evidence regarding …

In human neuroscience, studies of cognition are rarely grounded in non-task-
evoked,'spontaneous' neural activity. Indeed, studies of spontaneous activity tend to focus …

The hippocampal formation is one of the most extensively studied regions of the brain, with
well-described anatomy and basic physiology; moreover, aspects of human memory …

Decisions are often guided by generalizing from past experiences. Fundamental questions
remain regarding the cognitive and neural mechanisms by which generalization takes place …

Individual memories are often linked so that the recall of one triggers the recall of another.
For example, contextual memories acquired close in time can be linked, and this is known to …

Relational memory, the flexible ability to generalize across existing stores of information, is a
fundamental property of human cognition. Little is known, however, about how and when …

An ability to build structured mental maps of the world underpins our capacity to imagine
relationships between objects that extend beyond experience. In rodents, such …
