Different neural routes to autobiographical memory recall in healthy people and individuals with left medial temporal lobe epilepsy

Published in: Neuropsychologia, Volume 110, February 2018, 26-36 Abstract “Individuals with medial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) are poor at recalling vivid details from autobiographical memories (AM), instead retrieving gist-like schematic memories. Recent research has suggested that this impoverished recall in comparison to controls may reflect (1) differential engagement of anterior vs posterior regions of the hippocampus (HC) and/or (2) differences between the […]

Two years later – Revisiting autobiographical memory representations in vmPFC and hippocampus

Published in: Neuropsychologia, Volume 110, February 2018, 159-169 Abstract “A long-standing question in memory neuroscience concerns how and where autobiographical memories of personal experiences are represented in the brain. In a previous high resolution multivoxel pattern analysis fMRI study, we examined two week old (recent) and ten year old (remote) autobiographical memories (Bonnici et al., 2012, J. Neurosci. 32:16982–16991). We
