Events are thought to be encoded into memory in the context of temporally-adjacent events. Here, using fMRI, we show that when a visual stimulus from the past is re-encountered, lateral occipitotemporal cortex (LOTC) reinstates visual content from stimuli that were adjacent to the original encounter. This LOTC reinstatement effect was selective to stimuli that were subjectively remembered and was mediated by stimulus-specific activity patterns within the hippocampus.
