Using simultaneous electrocorticographical recordings in multiple lobes in human subjects performing memory retrieval tasks, this study finds that oscillatory coupling across a network of brain regions predicts successful memory recall. The study also shows that this increased network connectivity converges at the medial temporal lobe, with different neural signatures for spatial versus temporal components of episodic memory retrieval.
