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 …

A significant body of work has investigated the effects of acute exercise, defined as a single
bout of physical activity, on mood and cognitive functions in humans. Several excellent …

The hippocampal local field potential (LFP) shows three major types of rhythms: theta, sharp
wave–ripples and gamma. These rhythms are defined by their frequencies, they have …

The discovery of neuronal systems dedicated to computing spatial information, composed of
functionally distinct cell types such as place and grid cells, combined with an extensive body …

Spatial working memory, the caching of behaviourally relevant spatial cues on a timescale of
seconds, is a fundamental constituent of cognition. Although the prefrontal cortex and …

When rats come to a decision point, they sometimes pause and look back and forth as if
deliberating over the choice; at other times, they proceed as if they have already made their …

To understand dynamic cognitive processes, the high time resolution of EEG/MEG is
invaluable. EEG/MEG signals can play an important role in providing measures of functional …

Some have claimed that the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) mediates decision making.
Others suggest mPFC is selectively involved in the retrieval of remote long-term memory. Yet …

Search is a ubiquitous property of life. Although diverse domains have worked on search
problems largely in isolation, recent trends across disciplines indicate that the formal …

Rapidly emerging evidence continues to describe an intimate and causal relationship
between sleep and emotional brain function. These findings are mirrored by long-standing …
