Constructing realistic engrams: poststimulus activity of hippocampus and dorsal striatum predicts subsequent episodic memory

Open access

Abstract

Encoding of real-life episodic memory commonly involves integration of information as the episode unfolds. Offline processing immediately following event offset is expected to play a role in encoding the episode into memory. In this study, we examined whether distinct human brain activity time-locked to the offset of short narrative audiovisual episodes could predict subsequent memory for the gist of the episodes. We found that a set of brain regions, most prominently the bilateral hippocampus and the bilateral caudate nucleus, exhibit memory-predictive activity time-locked to the stimulus offset. We propose that offline activity in these regions reflects registration to memory of integrated episodes.

  • Hippocampal activity peaks at the offset of video clips.

    “Recent work has shown that hippocampal activity peaks at the offset of video clips (Ben-Yakov & Dudai, 2011; Ben-Yakov, Eshel, & Dudai, 2013)”

    The Experiment 2 results (page not specified in our copy) conclude that delayed activity in the bilateral hippocampus is time-locked to clip offset. The paper describes the response as beginning around or shortly after the clip ends, however, not as peaking at that moment. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Prior work has shown that the end of a video clip is associated with increased hippocampal activity, and the magnitude predicts later memory.

    “Prior work has shown that the end of a video clip is associated with increased hippocampal activity, and the magnitude of the activity predicts later memory (Ben-Yakov & Dudai, 2011; Ben-Yakov et al., 2013).”

  • Hippocampal encoding activity occurs at subtle transitions between events, where events are defined by pattern shifts in high-level cortical regions.

    “We demonstrated that the hippocampal encoding activity previously shown to be present at the end of movie clips (Ben-Yakov & Dudai, 2011; Ben-Yakov et al., 2013) and at abrupt switches between stimulus category and task (DuBrow & Davachi, 2016) also occurs at the much more subtle transitions between events (defined by pattern shifts in high-level regions)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
