Michael Rugg is Professor and holds the Distinguished Chair in Behavioral and Brain Sciences. He also serves as the Co-Director of the Center for Vital Longevity and is the head of the fNIM (Functional Neuro-Imaging of Memory) Laboratory. His research interests include the cognitive and neural bases of memory encoding and retrieval, as well as how and why memory function differs as a result of healthy aging or neurological disease.

Gamma Oscillations During Episodic Memory Processing Provide Evidence for Functional Specialization in the Longitudinal Axis of the Human Hippocampus
(Wiley, 2018-11-05)The question of whether the anterior and posterior hippocampus serve different or complementary functional roles during episodic memory processing has been motivated by noteworthy findings in rodent experiments and from ... -
The Relationship Between Age, Neural Differentiation, and Memory Performance
(Society for Neuroscience, 2018-11-02)Healthy aging is associated with decreased neural selectivity (dedifferentiation) in category-selective cortical regions. This finding has prompted the suggestion that dedifferentiation contributes to age-related cognitive ... -
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of the Left Angular Gyrus During Encoding Does not Impair Associative Memory Performance
The left angular gyrus (AG) is thought to play a critical role in episodic retrieval and has been implicated in the recollection of specific details of prior episodes. Motivated by recent fMRI studies in which it was ... -
Age-Related Differences in Prestimulus Subsequent Memory Effects Assessed with Event-Related Potentials
Prestimulus subsequent memory effects (preSMEs)-differences in neural activity elicited by a task cue at encoding that are predictive of later memory performance-are thought to reflect differential engagement of preparatory ... -
Anterior Thalamic High Frequency Band Activity Is Coupled with Theta Oscillations at Rest
Cross-frequency coupling (CFC) between slow and fast brain rhythms, in the form of phase-amplitude coupling (PAC), is proposed to enable the coordination of neural oscillatory activity required for cognitive processing. ... -
Modulation of Oscillatory Power and Connectivity in the Human Posterior Cingulate Cortex Supports the Encoding and Retrieval of Episodic Memories
Existing data from noninvasive studies have led researchers to posit that the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) supports mnemonic processes: It exhibits degeneration in memory disorders, and fMRI investigations have ... -
Comparison of the Neural Correlates of Encoding Item-Item and Item-Context Associations
fMRI was employed to investigate the role of the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) in the encoding of item-item and item-context associations. On each of a series of study trials subjects viewed a picture that was presented ...
