Memory search and the neural representation of context. (2008, background): “256 These speculations regarding the role of prefrontal cortex in memory search are also in accord 257 with the neuroimaging literature, as lateral prefrontal activation is nearly universally observed in 258 studies of subsequent memory [74].”
Complementary Learning Systems (2014, background): “The PFC also plays a strong role in directing the encoding and retrieval of information in the hippocampus (Blumenfeld & Ranganath, 2007)—understanding this interaction in greater detail is an important topic of future research.”
Neural activity that predicts subsequent memory and forgetting: A meta-analysis of 74 fMRI studies (2011, methodology): “Some evidence also suggests the lateral PFCmay be involved in organizing multiple pieces of information in working memory, thereby building associations among items (Blumenfeld and Ranganath, 2007).”
A context maintenance and retrieval model of organizational processes in free recall (2009, positive): “This hypothesis is consistent with evidence drawn from neuroimaging studies of memory retrieval (Blumenfeld & Ranganath, 2007), neuropsychological studies of patients with prefrontal damage (Schacter, 1987), and computational models of the role of prefrontal cortex in free recall (Becker & Lim,…”
Is the rostro-caudal axis of the frontal lobe hierarchical? (2009, background): “However, whatever theoretical account will ultimately emerge to explain the difference between dorsal and ventral rostro-caudal gradients, it will probably derive partially from functional distinctions between dorsal and ventral frontal corte”
The Influences of Emotion on Learning and Memory (2017, background): “…learn by exploring anything that results in acquired behavioral manifestations for survival operations, all the way from the mesolimbic-mesocortical dopamine system through to the prefrontal cortex (PFC); thus, it is intimately linked with LTM formation (Blumenfeld and Ranganath, 2007).”
Effects of Prior Knowledge on Memory: Implications for Education. (2016, background): “…the inferior frontal gyrus, have been shown to be involved in memory processes related to knowledge use, such as semantic elaboration, that are beneficial for memory success (e.g., Badre & Wagner, 2007; Blumenfeld & Ranganath, 2007; Staresina, Gray, & Davachi, 2009; Wagner et al., 1998).”
Perirhinal cortex supports encoding and familiarity-based recognition of novel associations. (2008, result): “Results from several previous studies suggest that regions in the left IFG may be involved in controlled retrieval or selection of specific stimulus dimensions during item encoding (Badre and Wagner, 2007; Blumenfeld and Ranganath, 2007; Gold and Buckner, 2002; Kan and Thompson-Schill, 2004).”
Modelling neural correlates of working memory: A coordinate-based meta-analysis (2011, neutral): “Other authors, however, have argued, that dorsal and ventral prefrontal cortices perform qualitatively different operations such as individual item processing vs. the organization of multiple pieces of information (Muller and Knight, 2006; Blumenfeld and Ranganath, 2007).”
Rhythms of human attention and memory: An embedded process perspective (2022, background): “, 2000), with the PFC being ascribed an executive control function (Blumenfeld and Ranganath, 2007): The lateral PFC is involved in the selection and ordering of multiple pieces of information, for example during WM maintenance.”
