Functional Neuroimaging of Memory Lab
@fnim-lab.bsky.social
We are the fNIM Lab led by Dr. Michael Rugg.
Our research investigates the cognitive and neural bases of memory and how and why memory function differs with healthy aging or neurological disease.

See our latest paper! Hou and colleagues found that the hippocampus and left angular gyrus each play a unique role in supporting the retrieval and behavioral expression of high-fidelity episodic memories. doi.org/10.1162/IMAG...

Rugg & Renoult review the cognitive neuroscience of episodic memory representations. Active representations must have a causal link to a past event to count as a memory, the basis for this linkage is the reinstatement framework. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New Paper Alert! de Chastelaine et al found that young adults are able to employ 'retrieval gating' to allow mnemonic content to be aligned with a retrieval goal, but older adults failed to do this even when their memory was boosted to match young adults! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excited to share our new paper in Neurobiology of Aging! Kidwai et al found that recollection-related fMRI effects in the entorhinal cortex were predictive of memory change over 3 years in healthy older adults, when controlling for age and entorhinal volume. doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...
