Hippocampal and Brain Stem Activation during Word Retrieval after Repeated and Semantic Encoding (2002)

Heckers, Stephan, Weiss, Anthony P., Alpert, Nathaniel M., Schacter, Daniel L.

Prefrontal contributions to executive control: fMRI evidence for functional distinctions within lateral prefrontal cortex (2001)

Anthony D. Wagner, Anat Maril, Robert A. Bjork, Daniel L. Schacter

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a fundamental role in internally guided behavior. Although it is generally accepted that PFC subserves working memory and executive control operations, it remains...

Prefrontal regions supporting spontaneous and directed application of verbal learning strategies: Evidence from PET (2001)

Savage, Cary R., Deckersbach, Thilo, Heckers, Stephan, Wagner, Anthony D., Schacter, Daniel L., Alpert, Nathaniel M., ...

The prefrontal cortex has been implicated in strategic memory processes, including the ability to use semantic organizational strategies to facilitate episodic learning. An important feature of these...

Functional MRI evidence for a role of frontal and inferior temporal cortex in amodal components of priming (2000)

Buckner, Randy L., Koutstaal, Wilma, Schacter, Daniel L., Rosen, Bruce R.

Changes in human brain activity associated with repetition priming during word generation were characterized across a series of neuroimaging and behavioural studies. Repetition priming was...

Task-specific Repetition Priming in Left Inferior Prefrontal Cortex (2000)

Wagner, Anthony D., Koutstaal, Wilma, Maril, Anat, Schacter, Daniel L., Buckner, Randy L.

Previous neuroimaging studies have shown that activation in left inferior prefrontal cortices (LIPC) is reduced during repeated (primed) relative to initial (unprimed) stimulus processing. These...

When encoding yields remembering: Insights from event-related neuroimaging (1999)

Anthony D. Wagner, Wilma Koutstaal, Daniel L. Schacter

To understand human memory, it is important to determine why some experiences are remembered whereas others are forgotten. Until recently, insights into the neural bases of human memory encoding, the...

Medial temporal lobe activations in fmri and pet studies of episodic encoding and retrieval (1999)
