Predictions transform memories: How expected versus unexpected events are integrated or separated in memory
Our brains constantly generate predictions about the environment based on prior
knowledge. Many of the events we experience are consistent with these predictions, while …

[HTML][HTML] The hippocampus constructs narrative memories across distant events
Life's events are scattered throughout time, yet we often recall different events in the context
of an integrated narrative. Prior research suggests that the hippocampus, which supports …
