Pattern Separation and Pattern Completion Within the Hippocampal Circuit During Naturalistic Stimuli.
Article in Human brain mapping, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pattern separation and pattern completion in the hippocampus play a critical role in episodic learning and memory. However, there is limited empirical evidence supporting the role of the hippocampal circuit in these processes during complex continuous experiences. In this study, we analyzed high-resolution fMRI data from the "Forrest Gump" open-access dataset (16 participants) using a sliding-window temporal autocorrelation approach to investigate whether the canonical hippocampal circuit (DG-CA3-CA1-SUB) shows evidence consistent with the occurrence of pattern separation or pattern completion during a naturalistic audio movie task. Our results revealed that when processing continuous naturalistic stimuli, the DG-CA3 pair exhibited evidence consistent with the occurrence of the pattern separation process, whereas both the CA3-CA1 and CA1-SUB pairs showed evidence consistent with pattern completion. Moreover, during the latter half of the audio movie, we observed evidence consistent with a reduction in pattern completion in the CA3-CA1 pair and an increase in pattern completion in the CA1-SUB pair. Overall, these findings improve our understanding of the evidence related to the occurrence of pattern separation and pattern completion processes during natural experiences.
