Are episodic memories special? On the sameness of remembered and imagined event simulation (2018, background): “…studies reporting that brain regions traditionally linked with memory are also involved in imagining the future; together these studies were named one of Science’s Top Ten Breakthroughs for 2007 (Addis, Wong et al. 2007; Hassabis et al. 2007; Szpunar et al. 2007; see also Okuda et al. 2003).”
Remembering the past and imagining the future: common and distinct neural substrates during event construction and elaboration. (2007, methodology): “Our data support the hypothesis that both common and distinct neural substrates mediate past and future events, consistent with the findings of the one previous neuroimaging study that examined this question (Okuda et al., 2003).”
Patterns of Brain Activity Supporting Autobiographical Memory, Prospection, and Theory of Mind, and Their Relationship to the Default Mode Network (2010, methodology): “Using multivariate analyses, we found a common pattern of neural activation underlying all three processes in the DMN.”
The Brain's Default Network (2008, background): “Several such studies have been reported using PET and fMRI (Partiot et al. 1995, Okuda et al. 2003, Szpunar et al. 2007, Addis et al. 2007, Sharot et al. 2007, Botzung et al. 2008, D’Argembeau et al. in press).”
Back to the future: the effect of daily practice of mental time travel into the future on happiness and anxiety (2009, background): “…by which past experiences are used to envision the future (Atance & O’Neill, 2001; Buckner & Carroll, 2007; Hassabis, Kumaran, Vann, & Maguire, 2007; Okuda et al., 2003; Wheeler, Stuss, & Tulving, 1997), and both importantly involve autonoetic consciousness, i.e., ‘the kind of consciousness that…”
The proactive brain: memory for predictions (2009, background): “…MPC and the MTL have all been reported to show selective activation in recent studies of thinking about the past and the future (Burgess et al. 2001; Okuda & Fujii 2003; Addis et al. 2007; Buckner & Carroll 2007; Szpunar et al. 2007), consistent with the roles we have assigned here to this network.”
Phenomenal characteristics associated with projecting oneself back into the past and forward into the future: influence of valence and temporal distance. (2004, background): “A recent study using positron emission tomography (PET) further indicates that common cerebral bases underlie thinking of the future and past (Okuda et al., 2003).”
Remembering the past and imagining the future (2007, background): “…or future events in amnesic patients (Hassabis, Kumaran, Vann, & Maguire, 2006; Klein, Loftus, & Khilstrom, 2002; but see also Bayley, Gold, Hopkins, & Squire, 2005) and similar patterns of activation for thinking about past and future events (Addis, Wong, & Schacter, 2006; Okuda et al., 2003).”
The neural basis of human moral cognition (2005, background): “The anterior sectors of the PFC are more important for storing long-term goals and multi-stage event complexes, such as those involved in making plans and thinking about the futur”
Evaluative and generative modes of thought during the creative process (2012, background): “…event processing (Botzung et al., 2008; Szpunar et al., 2009), future event simulation elicits greater activation, especially in the hippocampus (Addis et al., 2007; Okuda et al., 2003), suggesting that recombination to arrive at novel ideas or images may be specifically linked to MTL functions.”
Functional Specialization within Rostral Prefrontal Cortex (Area 10): A Meta-analysis (2006, neutral): “…Owen, Fletcher, & Burgess, 2005; Simons, Owen, Fletcher, & Burgess, 2005; Pollmann, 2004; Ramnani & Owen, 2004; Burgess, Scott, & Frith, 2003; Okuda et al., 2003; Braver & Bongiolatti, 2002; Janata et al., 2002; Burgess, Quayle, & Frith, 2001; Gusnard, Akbudak, Shulman, & Raichle, 2001;…”
Default network activity, coupled with the frontoparietal control network, supports goal-directed cognition (2010, positive): “We expected, based on studies of imagining future events (Addis et al., 2009; Addis et al., 2007; Okuda et al., 2003; Szpunar et al., 2007), that autobiographical planning would engage the default network.”
