Most research in cognitive neuroscience explores how external stimuli are processed by the
brain. However, the brain also receives input from the internal body. We discuss here how …

Rats and mice are used for studying neuronal circuits underlying recognition memory due to
their ability to spontaneously remember the occurrence of an object, its place and an …

▪ 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 hallmark of medial temporal lobe amnesia is a loss of episodic memory such that
patients fail to remember new events that are set in an autobiographical context (an …

The past 10 years have brought near-revolutionary changes in psychological theories about
short-term memory, with similarly great advances in the neurosciences. Here, we critically …

Much progress has been made by cognitive neuroscientists in understanding the separate
roles of the medial temporal and prefrontal lobes in memory, but the way in which these …

Early studies of memory-impaired patients with medial temporal lobe (MTL) damage led to
the view that the hippocampus and related MTL structures are involved in the formation of …

A central function of memory is to permit an organism to distinguish between stimuli that
have been previously encountered and those that are novel. Although the medial temporal …

The cortical anatomy of 6 patients with semantic dementia (the temporal lobe variant of
frontotemporal dementia) was contrasted with that of a group of age‐matched normal …

There is currently an intense debate about the nature of recognition memory and about the
roles of medial temporal lobe subregions in recognition memory processes. At a larger level …
