▪ Abstract The medial temporal lobe includes a system of anatomically related structures that
are essential for declarative memory (conscious memory for facts and events). The system …

The hippocampus appears to be crucial for long-term episodic memory, yet its precise role
remains elusive. Electrophysiological studies in rodents offer a useful starting point for …

Abstract Changes in memory performance are one of the hallmark symptoms of mild
cognitive impairment and are affected by healthy aging as well. Pattern separation, which …

Recent evidence suggests that the hippocampus may integrate overlap** memories into
relational representations, or schemas, that link indirectly related events and support flexible …

The authors present a computational neural-network model of how the hippocampus and
medial temporal lobe cortex (MTLC) contribute to recognition memory. The hippocampal …

According to dual-process models, recognition memory is supported by distinct retrieval
processes known as familiarity and recollection. Important evidence supporting the dual …

There is wide agreement that spatial memory is dependent on the integrity of the
hippocampus, but the importance of the hippocampus for nonspatial tasks, including tasks of …

Recognition memory is widely viewed as consisting of two components, recollection and
familiarity, which have been proposed to be dependent on the hippocampus and the …

Congenital aphantasia is a recently characterized variation of experience defined by the
inability to form voluntary visual imagery, in individuals who are otherwise high performing …

Foundations of Human Memory provides an introduction to the scientific study of human
