How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

The influential notion that the hippocampus supports associative memory by interacting with functionally distinct and distributed
brain regions has not been directly tested in humans. We therefore used targeted noninvasive electromagnetic stimulation to
modulate human cortical-hippocampal networks and tested effects of this manipulation on memory....
Old age could impair memory by disrupting learning strategies used by younger individuals. We tested this possibility by manipulating the ability to use visual-exploration strategies during learning. Subjects controlled visual exploration during active learning, thus permitting the use of strategies, whereas strategies were limited during passive l...
Although hippocampus unequivocally supports explicit/declarative memory, fewer findings have demonstrated its role in implicit expressions of memory. We tested for hippocampal contributions to an implicit expression of configural/relational memory for complex scenes using eye-movement tracking during fMRI scanning. Participants studied scenes and w...
Background:
Delirium symptoms are associated with later worse functional outcomes and long-term cognitive impairments, but the neuroanatomical basis for delirium symptoms in patients with acute brain injury is currently uncertain. We tested the hypothesis that hematoma location is predictive of delirium symptoms in patients with intracerebral hemo...
Chronic lesion locations are associated with neurologic outcomes. However, voxel-based acute infarct maps have not been used to predict long-term deficits and outcomes. The combination of ischemic lesion volume and location may aid in acute outcome prediction models. We evaluated the feasibility of voxel-based lesion mapping in acute ischemic strok...
Neuroimaging and lesion studies have implicated specific prefrontal cortex locations in subjective memory awareness. Based on this evidence, a rostrocaudal organization has been proposed whereby increasingly anterior prefrontal regions are increasingly involved in memory awareness. We used theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS) to temp...
