The division of cortical visual processing into distinct dorsal and ventral streams is a key
framework that has guided visual neuroscience. The characterization of the ventral stream …

It is well accepted that recognition memory reflects the contribution of two separable memory
retrieval processes, namely recollection and familiarity. However, fundamental questions …

Background Early cognitive intervention is the only routine therapeutic approach used for
amelioration of intellectual deficits in individuals with Down's syndrome, but its effects are …

Spatial navigation is a core cognitive ability in humans and animals. Neuroimaging studies
have identified two functionally defined brain regions that activate during navigational tasks …

Scope Trisomy for human chromosome 21 results in D own syndrome (DS), which is among
the most complex genetic perturbations leading to intellectual disability. Accumulating data …

Studies in rats and non-human primates suggest that medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures
play a role in perceptual processing, with the hippocampus necessary for spatial …

Effective connectivity measurements in the human hippocampal memory system based on
the resting-state blood oxygenation-level dependent signal were made in 172 participants in …

Neuroimaging and lesion studies have seemed to converge on the idea that the
hippocampus selectively supports recollection. However, these studies usually involve a …

The creation of memories about real-life episodes requires rapid neuronal changes that may
appear after a single occurrence of an event. How is such demand met by neurons in the …

The neural mechanisms for the formation of declarative memory (memory for facts and
events) are believed to be integrated from processes mediated by hippocampal long-term …
