COMMEMORATIVE LECTURE Neural mechanisms of cognitive memory
It is my great honor to be here for the award of the 2003 Keio Medical Science Prize. I express my gratitude to Keio University and Dr. Mitsunada Sakaguchi. Knowledge or experiences are voluntarily recalled from memory by reactivation of their neural representations in the cerebral association cortex. Four questions are central in understanding this process: (1) Where in the brain is the mnemon...
متن کاملCognitive and neural mechanisms of emotional memory.
A highly adaptive aspect of human memory is the enhancement of explicit, consciously accessible memory for emotional stimuli. Recent findings from neuroimaging, neuropsychological, drug and neural stimulation studies indicate that emotional stimuli engage specific cognitive and neural mechanisms that enhance explicit memory. Emotional arousal influences memory via factors that act during memory...
متن کاملCognitive and neural mechanisms of decision biases in recognition memory.
In recognition memory tasks, stimuli can be classified as "old" either on the basis of accurate memory or a bias to respond "old", yet bias has received little attention in the cognitive neuroscience literature. Here we examined the pattern and timing of bias-related effects in event-related brain potentials (ERPs) to determine whether the bias is linked more to memory retrieval or to response ...
متن کاملBridging the gap between brain and behavior: cognitive and neural mechanisms of episodic memory.
The notion that non-human animals are capable of episodic memory is highly controversial. Here, we review recent behavioral work from our laboratory showing that the fundamental features of episodic memory can be observed in rats and that, as in humans, this capacity relies on the hippocampus. We also discuss electrophysiological evidence, from our laboratory and that of others, pointing to ass...
متن کاملMemory Mechanisms: Computational and Neural Evidence
In this article, I review evidence for the proposal that the processing and learning of words can usefully be understood as lying at the intersection of a variety of memory mechanisms. I begin with consideration of the temporally dynamic and serially ordered nature of human spoken language, focusing particularly on spoken word forms, and discuss the computational consequences of these propertie...
