Fig. 5: Item-specific encoding-retrieval similarity of connectivity patterns between DLPFC and LTC.

A Encoding-retrieval similarity for all to-be-remembered (TBR; top) and to-be-forgotten (TBF; bottom) items, separately for words that were later remembered (blue) or forgotten (orange) based on dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)—lateral temporal cortex (LTC) coherence (n = 10). Shaded error bars indicate the standard error of the mean. Blue, orange, and black lines indicate significant item-specific encoding-retrieval similarity of remembered words, forgotten words, and their difference, respectively. B Overall DLPFC-LTC coherence difference between remembered and forgotten words. C Time-frequency responses during retrieval for DLPFC averaged across all frontal bipolar channels for TBF words. Power was significantly different in a late window as indicated by the white outline. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
