Theta band power increases in the posterior hippocampus predict successful episodic memory encoding in humans

JJ Lin, MD Rugg, S Das, J Stein, DS Rizzuto… - …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Functional differences in the anterior and posterior hippocampus during episodic memory
processing have not been examined in human electrophysiological data. This is in spite of …

Theta rhythmicity governs human behavior and hippocampal signals during memory-dependent tasks

M Ter Wal, J Linde-Domingo, J Lifanov, F Roux… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Memory formation and reinstatement are thought to lock to the hippocampal theta rhythm,
predicting that encoding and retrieval processes appear rhythmic themselves. Here, we …

Changing temporal context in human temporal lobe promotes memory of distinct episodes

MM El-Kalliny, JH Wittig Jr, TC Sheehan… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
Memories of experiences that occur around the same time are linked together by a shared
temporal context, represented by shared patterns of neural activity. However, shared …

Signal complexity of human intracranial EEG tracks successful associative-memory formation across individuals

TC Sheehan, V Sreekumar, SK Inati… - Journal of …, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
Memory performance is highly variable among individuals. Most studies examining human
memory, however, have largely focused on the neural correlates of successful memory …

Increases in pre-stimulus theta and alpha oscillations precede successful encoding of crossmodal associations

J Ostrowski, M Rose - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
A central aspect of episodic memory is the formation of associations between stimuli from
different modalities. Current theoretical approaches assume a functional role of ongoing …

Dual origins of measured phase-amplitude coupling reveal distinct neural mechanisms underlying episodic memory in the human cortex

AP Vaz, RB Yaffe, JH Wittig Jr, SK Inati, KA Zaghloul - Neuroimage, 2017 - Elsevier
Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) is hypothesized to coordinate neural activity, but its role in
successful memory formation in the human cortex is unknown. Measures of PAC are difficult …

Modulation of oscillatory power and connectivity in the human posterior cingulate cortex supports the encoding and retrieval of episodic memories

B Lega, J Germi, MD Rugg - Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 2017 - direct.mit.edu
Existing data from noninvasive studies have led researchers to posit that the posterior
cingulate cortex (PCC) supports mnemonic processes: It exhibits degeneration in memory …

Direct stimulation of human hippocampus during verbal associative encoding enhances subsequent memory recollection

S Jun, JS Kim, CK Chung - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Previous studies have reported conflicting results regarding the effect of direct electrical
stimulation of the human hippocampus on memory performance. A major function of the …

The phase of Theta oscillations modulates successful memory formation at encoding

J Cruzat, M Torralba, M Ruzzoli, A Fernández, G Deco… - Neuropsychologia, 2021 - Elsevier
Several studies have shown that attention and perception can depend upon the phase of
ongoing neural oscillations at stimulus onset. Here, we extend this idea to the memory …
