Sleep-encoded vocabulary influences awake decision-making 36 hr later, particularly when targeting the vocabulary to slow-wave troughs, which suggests that unconscious episodic memory formation during deep sleep is possible.

The strength of pattern completion during memory retrieval, indexed by hippocampal activity and cortical reinstatement, explains within- and across-individual variability in episodic memory in older adults.

Combining fMRI with continuous model-based measures of retrieval enables the behavioral and neural dissociation of multiple components of episodic memory.
A neural network showed better prediction of upcoming states when it was selective in when it encoded and retrieved episodic memories, thereby explaining why humans show this selectivity in studies of naturalistic memory.
A neural network model of the hippocampus exhibits a division of labor across its two main pathways during category learning, with one pathway specializing in extracting systematic category information and another in encoding arbitrary details.

Hippocampal metabolomic analyses following episodic learning at different ages revealed a critical role for neuronal glutathione reductase activity in long-term infantile memory formation.
Imaging of neurons within the hippocampus, a memory region of the brain, reveals how the brain updates memories during different learning conditions compared to when learning is blocked by amnestic drugs.
Longitudinal and computational analyses reveal an early and temporally stable hippocampal and striatal involvement in reinforcement learning in 6-to-7-year-old children.
