Study timeline and schema material.

(A) Subjects underwent fMRI on two consecutive days, each containing 7 runs (day 1: encoding and retrieval; day 2: retrieval). A transfer test was completed at the end of day 2 and consisted of two runs (encoding and retrieval). (B) Stimulus material during encoding comprised four horizontal circle pairs. Spatial (position) or non-spatial (color) rule-based schemas were used to predict fictive "sun" or "rain" outcomes. Stimulus material during retrieval consisted of four vertical circle pairs (for a detailed description of the experiment, please see Materials and methods, Material and task and Materials and methods, Procedure). We used retrieval trials on day 2 to dissociate the multi-voxel patterns of schema components that consisted of rule-based associations and low-level visual features (Figure 1—figure supplement 1). Figure 1—figure supplement 2 illustrates experimental trials during encoding, retrieval, and during the perceptual baseline condition.

Multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA).

(A) We used MVPA to discriminate between schema components, which were defined as (1) rule-based associations (spatial vs. non-spatial, while collapsing across circle pairs 1–4), and (2) low-level visual features of the stimulus material (circle pair 1 + 2 vs. 3 + 4, while collapsing across spatial and non-spatial schema conditions). Numbers were not shown to subjects. (B) First, we trained a classifier on day 2 (black) and tested every independent run of the same day (dashed line), using a seven-fold leave-one-run-out cross-validation procedure. (C) Next, we tested the generalization of multi-voxel patterns across days by training a classifier on day 2 (black) and testing it on day 1 (dashed line). (D) Finally, a classifier was trained on day 2 (black) and tested on data from the transfer test (dashed line). For a detailed description of the analysis please see Materials and methods, Multi-voxel pattern analysis.

Figure 1—figure supplement 2
Experimental trials.

(A) During encoding trials, subjects received a cue (2 s) to apply either the spatial or non-spatial schema. Circle pairs were presented (3 s) and a response indicating the outcome was necessary (2 s). The correct feedback was provided (2 s). (B) During retrieval, subjects received a cue (2 s) to apply either the spatial or non-spatial schema. Circle pairs were presented (3 s) and a response indicating the outcome (2 s), and a confidence rating (2 s) were necessary. (C) Perceptual baseline trials matched the structure and timing of encoding and retrieval trials. They were independent of the rule-based schemas and a response option was marked (Materials and methods, Material and task and Material and task, Procedure).

Activation during schema retrieval.

(A) Increased BOLD responses during rule-based schema retrieval across both days (schema retrieval > perceptual baseline), (B) during rule-based schema retrieval on day 1 (day 1 > day 2), and (C) after an initial consolidation of 24 hours (day 2 > day 1). Contrasts B and C include runs 5 to 7 from day 1, and the first run from day 2. For display purposes, results were resliced to a voxel dimension of 0.5 mm isotropic and are shown at < 0.001, uncorrected. Significant clusters are noted in Table 1. Results are superimposed onto the average structural scan derived from all subjects. L–left.

Schema retrieval networks: MPFC and PCC.

(A) MPFC seed (x = -2, y = 35, z = -2; based on the contrast day 2 > day 1, Figure 3C; here marked in white). (B) PCC seed (x = 2, y = -45, z = 22; based on the same contrast; here marked in white). General retrieval effects are shown in purple (schema retrieval > perceptual baseline). For display purposes, connectivity maps were resliced to a voxel dimension of 0.5 mm isotropic and are shown at < 0.001, uncorrected. Significant clusters are noted in Table 2. L – right. Additionally, connectivity results (PCC seed) are projected onto a surface-based flatmap. Relevant structures are labeled: AG, angular gyrus; dACC, dorsal anterior cingulate cortex; FG, fusiform gyrus; HC, hippocampus; IFG, inferior frontal gyrus; INS, insula; MPFC, medial prefrontal cortex; PCC, posterior cingulate cortex; PHC, parahippocampal cortex; PreC, precentral gyrus; STG, superior temporal gyrus. Regions of the retrieval network are highlighted in bold font. Dashed lines are inserted to aid orientation: a, border between medial and lateral prefrontal cortices; b, central sulcus; c, superior temporal gyrus; d, border between ventromedial and -lateral temporal cortices. LH – left hemisphere, RH – right hemisphere.

Multi-voxel representations of schema components.

(A) The searchlight MVPA revealed distributed representations of both schema components (rule-based associations, low-level visual features). These representational levels converged within the AG (yellow). Three horizontal slices are shown as cut-outs and are magnified to appreciate the overlap (Table 3). (B) Only the multi-voxel patterns of low-level visual features were shared between day 1 and day 2. For display purposes, all maps were resliced to a voxel dimension of 0.5 mm isotropic and are shown at < 0.001, uncorrected. Significant clusters are noted in Table 3. L – left.

Spatial relationship between schema retrieval networks and schema component representations.

Results from connectivity analyses (seeds MPFC, PCC, AG), and MVPA are shown as a 3D rendering. During schema retrieval, MPFC and PCC were functionally connected with the same AG region (left part). Furthermore, MVPA revealed distributed representations of different schema components that converged within the left AG during retrieval (right and surrounded in white). To aid orientation, dashed lines schematically indicate the intraparietal sulcus (IPS). Asterisks mark identical locations within the AG across the different methodological approaches. Additionally, we show a horizontal cut at the level of the AG to demonstrate sub-surface effects. LH – left hemisphere.

  1. Clusters that showed a significant increase in AG connectivity during schema retrieval. Retrieval was compared to the perceptual baseline. The seed was defined as overlap between schema components, as determined with MVPA (Figure 5A). Bold font indicates contrasts. MNI coordinates represent the location of peak voxels. We report the local maximum of each cluster. For the non-spatial schema condition we report the first 15 local maxima (> 8 mm apart). Effects were tested for significance using cluster-inference with a cluster-defining threshold of < 0.001 and a cluster-probability of < 0.05 family-wise error (FWE) corrected for multiple comparisons (critical cluster sizes: spatial, 88 voxels; non-spatial, 83 voxels).

  1. Clusters that significantly discriminated the low-level visual features during retrieval on day 1. Bold font indicates the type of MVPA analysis (day 1, training and testing the classifier on day 1 using cross-validation; Materials and methods, Complementary analysis: AG involvement in schema retrieval on day 1). MNI coordinates represent the location of peak voxels. We report the local maximum of each cluster. Effects were tested for significance using cluster-inference with a cluster-defining threshold of < 0.001 and a cluster-probability of < 0.05 family-wise error (FWE) corrected for multiple comparisons (critical cluster sizes: upper part, 80 voxels; lower part, 65 voxels). L – left, R – right.

  1. Clusters that showed a significant increase in hippocampal connectivity during schema retrieval (Materials and methods, Complementary analysis: hippocampal connectivity during schema retrieval). Bold font indicates contrasts. Retrieval (collapsed across spatial and non-spatial schema conditions) was compared to the perceptual baseline. MNI coordinates represent the location of peak voxels. We report the local maximum of each cluster. Effects were tested for significance using cluster-inference with a cluster-defining threshold of < 0.001 and a cluster-probability of < 0.05 family-wise error (FWE) corrected for multiple comparisons (critical cluster size = 76 voxels). L – left, R – right.

Changes in activation as a function of run on day 1. Retrieval (collapsed across spatial and non-spatial schema conditions) was compared to the perceptual baseline. Bold font indicates contrasts. MNI coordinates represent the location of peak voxels. We report the first two local maxima (> 8 mm apart) within each cluster. Effects were tested for significance using cluster-inference with a cluster-defining threshold of P < 0.001 and a cluster-probability of P < 0.05 family-wise error (FWE) corrected for multiple comparisons (critical cluster size = 68 voxels). L – left, R – right.
