Today's issue of Current Biology is a special issue on memory, with lots of great articles on various aspects of memory. Oh, and there's also a feature from me, on sharp-wave ripples and whether or not they're important for memory.
Are memories just ripples in time?

All the themed content in this issue will remain on free access for a month after publication date, apparently.
By coincidence, there is also a new book out about one of the most extensively studied patients with memory loss, H.M.
