Journal Article
Suthana, N. A., Parikshak, N. N., Ekstrom, A. D., Ison, M., Knowlton, B. J., Bookheimer, S. Y., & Fried, I. (2015). Specific responses of human hippocampal neurons are associated with better memory. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 112(33), 10503-10508. doi:10.1073/pnas.1423036112

A population of human hippocampal neurons has shown responses to individual concepts (e.g., Jennifer Aniston) that generalize to different instances of the concept. However, recordings from the rodent hippocampus suggest an important function of thes... Read More about Specific responses of human hippocampal neurons are associated with better memory.

Rapid encoding of new memories by individual neurons in the human brain (2015)
Journal Article
Ison, M., Rodrigo Quian, Q., & Fried, I. (2015). Rapid encoding of new memories by individual neurons in the human brain. Neuron, 87(1), 220-230. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2015.06.016

The creation of memories about real-life episodes requires rapid neuronal changes that may appear after a single occurrence of an event. How is such demand met by neurons in the medial temporal lobe (MTL), which plays a fundamental role in episodic m...
