Brain Dynamics Underlying Memory for Lifetime Experiences.
The ability to remember our past depends critically on the hippocampus and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), but their respective roles are debated. Contrary to classic theories, recent work (McCormick et al.) has shown that vmPFC drives the hippocampus during memory retrieval, irrespective of how old the recalled memories are.
