AbstractEpisodic memory retrieval is associated with the holistic neocortical reinstatement of all event information; an effect driven by hippocampal pattern completion. However, whether holistic reinstatement occurs, and whether hippocampal pattern completion continues to drive reinstatement, after a period of consolidation is unclear. Theories of systems consolidation predict either a time-variant or -invariant role of the hippocampus in the holistic retrieval of episodic events.
