Advanced perceptual systems are faced with the problem of securing a principled (ideally,
veridical) relationship between the world and its internal representation. I propose a unified …

It is widely acknowledged that the perirhinal cortex, located in the ventromedial aspect of the
temporal lobe, is essential for certain types of memory in macaque monkeys. For example …

Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission induced by high-frequency stimulation
(HFS) is considered to be a model for learning processes; however, standard HFS protocols …

Recurrent excitation is experimentally well documented in cortical populations. It provides
for intracortical excitatory biases that linearize negative feedback interactions and induce …

Over the last decade, fully distributed models have become dominant in connectionist
psychological modelling, whereas the virtues of localist models have been underestimated …

A fundamental claim associated with parallel distributed processing (PDP) theories of
cognition is that knowledge is coded in a distributed manner in mind and brain. This …

During natural vision, the brain efficiently processes views of the external world as the eyes
actively scan the environment. To better understand the neural mechanisms underlying this …

Evidence from animal studies points to the importance of the parahippocampal region
(PHR)[including entorhinal, perirhinal, and parahippocampal (PHC) cortices] for recognition …

Functional roles of the cortical backward signal in long-term memory formation were studied
in monkeys performing a visual pair-association task. Before the monkeys learned the task …

The medial temporal lobe is indispensable for normal memory processing in both human
and non–human primates, as is shown by the fact that large lesions in it produce a severe …
