Title: Episodic odor memory formation and theta oscillation dynamics
In this talk, I will discuss our recent research on the neural basis of odor- evoked autobiographical memory, also known as Proustian memory. Smells, more than almost any other sensory input, can trigger very rich and vivid memories, immediately transporting us back to a long-forgotten time and place. This fascinating phenomenon has been coined Proustian memory, in reference to a passage in Marcel Proust’s 1913 book Swann’s way, in which the narrator describes how eating the crumbs of a madeleine dipped in lime blossom tea triggers a powerful process of remembering that takes him back to a pleasant long-buried childhood memory. But how does the brain create and recall odor- related memories? And why are some of these memories vivid and strong while others are poor and incomplete? Using intracranial EEG recordings and representational neural geometry analysis, we shed new light on the role of orbitofrontal and hippocampal theta oscillations in memory formation and propose a mechanistic account of their role in the richness of odor-related episodic memory.
