AbstractEpisodic recollection involves retrieving context information bound to specific events. However, autobiographical memory largely comprises recurrent, similar experiences that become integrated into joint representations. In the current study, we extracted a neural signature of temporal context from scalp electroencephalography (EEG) to investigate whether recalling a recurring event accompanies the reinstatement of one or multiple instances of its occurrence.

AbstractMemory retrieval activates regions across the brain, including not only the hippocampus and medial temporal lobe (MTL), but also frontal, parietal, and lateral temporal cortical regions. How these regions communicate to organize retrieval-specific processing, however, remains unclear. Here, we elucidate the role of theta (3--8 Hz) synchronization, broadly implicated in memory function, during the spontaneous retrieval of episodic memories.
