Theta frequency (4–8 Hz) fluctuations of the local field potential have long been implicated
in learning and memory. Human studies of episodic memory, however, have provided mixed …

Episodic memory allows us to mentally travel through time. How does the brain convert a
simple reminder cue into a full-blown memory of past events and experiences? In this …

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 …

To write by hand, to type, or to draw–which of these strategies is the most efficient for optimal
learning in the classroom? As digital devices are increasingly replacing traditional writing by …

The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is known to support episodic memory and spatial
navigation, raising the possibility that its true function is to form “cognitive maps” of any kind …

Highlights•EEG's high temporal resolution is supremely suitable for studying creative
cognition.•Increased alpha activity is a common marker of various creative processes.•Other …

Recent evidence has suggested that coherent neuronal oscillations may serve as a gating
mechanism for flexibly modulating communication between brain regions. For this to occur …

Background Researchers have used direct electrical brain stimulation to treat a range of
neurological and psychiatric disorders. However, for brain stimulation to be maximally …

Neural oscillations play an important role in the integration and segregation of brain regions
that are important for brain functions, including pain. Disturbances in oscillatory activity are …

Despite considerable interest in enhancing, preserving, and rehabilitating working memory
(WM), efforts to elicit sustained behavioral improvements have been met with limited …
