Various cognitive functions have long been known to require the hippocampus. Recently,
progress has been made in identifying the hippocampal neural activity patterns that …

During the past few years, there has been a dramatic increase in research examining the
role of memory in imagination and future thinking. This work has revealed striking similarities …

Emotional states of consciousness, or what are typically called emotional feelings, are
traditionally viewed as being innately programmed in subcortical areas of the brain, and are …

A proposal for a fully post-phrenological neuroscience that details the evolutionary roots of
functional diversity in brain regions and networks. The computer analogy of the mind has …

Age-related cognitive changes often include difficulties in retrieving memories, particularly
those that rely on personal experiences within their temporal and spatial contexts (ie …

It is often said that fear is a universal innate emotion that we humans have inherited from our
mammalian ancestors by virtue of having inherited conserved features of their nervous …

A classic work that situates linguistic theory in the broader cognitive sciences, formulating
and developing the minimalist program. In his foundational book, The Minimalist Program …

The primal affects are intrinsic brain value systems that unconditionally and automatically
inform animals how they are faring in survival. They serve an essential function in emotional …

A rapidly growing number of recent studies show that imagining the future depends on much
of the same neural machinery that is needed for remembering the past. These findings have …

In a dynamic world, mechanisms allowing prediction of future situations can provide a
selective advantage. We suggest that memory systems differ in the degree of flexibility they …
