Encoding of long-term associations through neural unitization in the human medial temporal lobe

In this work, the authors recorded single neurons and field potentials from the human medial temporal lobe (MTL) and show indistinguishable responses to associated stimuli. This coding mechanism provides a simple and flexible way of encoding memories in the human MTL.
