Disentangling neocortical alpha/beta and hippocampal theta/gamma oscillations in human episodic memory formation

Highlights • Neocortical desynchrony and hippocampal synchrony correlate with memory formation.• Neocortical alpha/beta power decreases correlate with information perception.• Hippocampal theta/gamma coupling increases correlate with mnemonic binding.• These phenomena are dissociable correlates of associative memory formation.
