Distinct roles for medial temporal lobe structures in memory for objects and their locations.
The ability to learn and retain novel information depends on a system of structures in the medial temporal lobe (MTL) including the hippocampus and the surrounding entorhinal, perirhinal, and parahippocampal cortices. Damage to these structures produces profound memory deficits; however, the unique contribution to memory of each of these structures remains unclear. Here we have used functional ...
متن کاملRecognition memory for faces and scenes in amnesia: dissociable roles of medial temporal lobe structures.
The relative contributions of the hippocampus and the perirhinal cortex to recognition memory are currently the subject of intense debate. Whereas some authors propose that both structures play a similar role in recognition memory, others suggest that the hippocampus might mediate recollective and/or associative aspects of recognition memory, whereas the perirhinal cortex may mediate item memor...
متن کاملInvolvement of Medial Temporal Lobe Structures in Memory and Perception
Beginning approximately a decade and a half ago, it was suggested that some structures that are considered to be part of the "medial temporal lobe memory system" could play a role in perception as well. The implications of this view, interpreted broadly, are that medial temporal lobe structures may be understood as an extension of the ventral visual stream and that their functions cannot be des...
متن کاملThe Medial Temporal Lobe and Memory
Memory is a central component of our cognitive lives, and it is accomplished by multiple neurobiological memory systems that encode, retain, and retrieve different forms of information about past experience. Memory for the past can be used to build predictive models in the present and thus can guide current thoughts, decisions, and actions. For example, memory enables us to discriminate novel p...
متن کاملThe medial temporal lobe and recognition memory.
The ability to recognize a previously experienced stimulus is supported by two processes: recollection of the stimulus in the context of other information associated with the experience, and a sense of familiarity with the features of the stimulus. Although familiarity and recollection are functionally distinct, there is considerable debate about how these kinds of memory are supported by regio...
