Dynamic patterns of functional connectivity in the human brain underlie individual memory formation

Using direct brain recordings, Phan et al. find that fast sub-second changes in connectivity between brain regions are involved in forming individual memories and are recapitulated when retrieving the same memory.

Focal seizures induce spatiotemporally organized spiking activity in the human cortex

The precise mechanism by which seizures disrupt neural coding remains unclear. Here, the authors show that discharges arising from the seizure source travel macroscopic distances, where they go on to influence spiking sequences at the microscopic scale.

Neuronal sequences in population bursts encode information in human cortex

The temporal order of neuronal firing within bursts of population spiking in the human anterior temporal lobe is dependent on the category as well as the identity of the individual stimulus, and this encodes information independently of spike rate or latency.

Memorability of words in arbitrary verbal associations modulates memory retrieval in the anterior temporal lobe

Xie et al. combine evidence from behavioural data, computational modelling and intracranial electroencephalogram methods to show that the human brain prioritizes certain information to facilitate associative memory retrieval.

Changing temporal context in human temporal lobe promotes memory of distinct episodes

Memories formed around the same time are linked together by a shared temporal context. Here, the authors show that the ability to selectively retrieve distinct episodic memories formed close together in time is related to how quickly neural representations of temporal context change over time during encoding.

Backbone spiking sequence as a basis for preplay, replay, and default states in human cortex

Sequential neural spiking activity is a potential substrate for learning and memory across species. Here, the authors showed spiking in the human cortex forms an average backbone sequence, and flexibility around this backbone is associated with cognition.

The medial temporal lobe supports the quality of visual short-term memory representation

Xie et al. combine intracranial recording, brain stimulation and lesion case study to show that the human medial temporal lobe is involved in the quality of short-term memory representation.

Neural fragility as an EEG marker of the seizure onset zone

Li et al. develop neural fragility, a networked dynamic system biomarker, for localizing seizures in patients with epilepsy and find that it is more robust compared to traditional features that clinicians and researchers look at in a 91-patient study.

Feedforward prediction error signals during episodic memory retrieval

Haque et al. demonstrate that the episodic memory of a single visual scene is sufficient for humans to recognize if a visual scene has subsequently changed. A prediction error signal first arises in the visual association cortex when individuals recognize these changes.

Micro-scale functional modules in the human temporal lobe

The sensory cortices of many mammals consist of modules in the form of cortical columns. By analyzing functional connectivity and neural responses to visual stimuli, the authors show that this organization may extend to the human temporal lobe.

Attention improves memory by suppressing spiking-neuron activity in the human anterior temporal lobe

Wittig et al. show that attention in the service of verbal memory triggers a preparatory suppression of neural activity in the human anterior temporal lobe, suggesting that this region is a novel and unexpected source of attentional control.
