How are multiple interconnected memories reactivated during #sleep? We've published our opinions, but here I'd like to highlight recent findings from other groups. Tl;dr: multiple memories can be (almost) simultaneously reactivated & shared contexts drive this reactivation 1/8

Fun new paper on meaning & memory in the brain. Retrieval is often seen through the lens of encoding success, but we find a unique "flip" in which the parietal ctx mediates enc failure but retrieval success. Cool implications for theories of parietal function. direct.mit.edu/jocn/article...

In humans, highly selective brain lesions are rare. This study tests two unique patients with relatively selective lesions to dentate gyrus (DG) vs. CA1 subfields of the hippocampus. DG lesions impair discrimination of similar memories, whereas CA1 lesions impair recognition memory overall.

Competing memories may be integrated or differentiated based on how much their representations co-activate. Using real-time fMRI neurofeedback, this study finds that high co-activation of memories in visual cortex leads to less memory discriminability in hippocampus. #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence

Long-term memories can guide eye movements automatically, even if they are not relevant to the task. But what happens if we attempt to suppress a long-term memory? Attempts to regulate memory retrieval reduce incidental viewing of objects whose memories are being suppressed. #PsychSciSky
