Contextual Inference Drives Motor Memory Protection and Disruption

Temporal Indexing of Motor Memory

Humans must store and retrieve distinct implicit motor memories in different contexts. Recent research has revealed the motor adaptation system’s sensitivity to contextual cues related to posture, spatial goals, and visual inputs. However, to date, the role of one critical variable in implicit motor memory retrieval –...

715. Hippocampal cellular and molecular representations of fear memory reconsolidation and extinction

Abstract Background Memory retrieval is not a passive phenomenon. Previous studies have presented evidence that memory retrieval is a dynamic process during which memories can be made stronger, weakened, or their content can be altered. Recent studies have shown that reactivated memory becomes labile after retrieval an...

Controlled Memory Interference in Continual LLM Agents

Control Memory Interference is introduced, a controlled diagnostic and data-generation framework for studying how agent memory evolves under different memory relationships and shows that memory evolution is shaped not only by memory scale, but also by interactions among accumulated experiences.

Memory encoding begins with spontaneous neural reactivation

Long-term memory relies on neural reactivation mechanisms that support consolidation and retrieval. However, it remains unknown whether these mechanisms also operate during encoding, the initial stage of memory formation. Using a decoding classifier, we analyzed magnetoencephalography (MEG) data from 67 participants as...

Context brings back all the memories: a review of the physical context reinstatement effect on episodic memory.

CA1 reinstatement and novelty response independently support recognition memory

One of the central tensions in memory research is whether consistency or differentiation across events is beneficial for remembering. While theoretical models posit that the hippocampal subfield CA1 subserves both types of computations, it remains unclear how it can simultaneously express both in service of recognition...
