Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the
retention of memory. In this review we aim to comprehensively cover the field of “sleep and …

Although the perirhinal cortex (PRC), parahippocampal cortex (PHC) and retrosplenial
cortex (RSC) have an essential role in memory, the precise functions of these areas are …

The present study performed a quantitative meta-analysis of functional MRI studies that used
a subsequent memory approach. The meta-analysis considered both subsequent memory …

In this chapter, we review evidence that the cortical pathways to the hippocampus appear to
extend from two large-scale cortical systems: a posterior medial (PM) system that includes …

The recent surge in event-related fMRI studies of episodic memory has generated a wealth
of information about the neural correlates of encoding and retrieval processes. However …

Recent findings have led to a growing appreciation of the role of the lateral prefrontal cortex
(PFC) in episodic long-term memory (LTM). Here, the authors will review results from …

Results from neuroimaging studies have shown that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
(DLPFC) implements processes critical for organizing items in working memory (WM). Based …

It has been debated whether the link between amygdala activity and subsequent memory is
equally strong for positive and negative information. Moreover, it has been unclear whether …

The formation of episodic memories—memories for life events—is affected by attention
during event processing. A leading neurobiological model of attention posits two separate …

The parahippocampal cortex (PHC) has been implicated in the processing of place-related
information. It has also been implicated in episodic memory, even for items that are not …
