Although the perirhinal cortex (PRC), parahippocampal cortex (PHC) and retrosplenial
cortex (RSC) have an essential role in memory, the precise functions of these areas are …

Work with patient HM, beginning in the 1950s, established key principles about the
organization of memory that inspired decades of experimental work. Since HM, the study of …

By utilizing new information from both clinical and experimental (lesion, electrophysiological,
and gene-activation) studies with animals, the anatomy underlying anterograde amnesia …

In this chapter, we review evidence that the cortical pathways to the hippocampus appear to
extend from two large-scale cortical systems: a posterior medial (PM) system that includes …

Abstract Aims: The Korsakoff syndrome is a preventable memory disorder that usually
emerges (although not always) in the aftermath of an episode of Wernicke's …

This book is unique in that it gives equal weight to the psychological and neurological
approaches to the study of cognitive deficits in patients with brain lesions. The result is a …

In this review first we evaluate evidence on the role of the neurobiological alterations
induced by chronic ethanol consumption in the development of ethanol tolerance …

The forgetting curve is one of the most well known and established findings in memory
research. Knowing the pattern of memory change over time can provide insight into …

This paper reviews disorders of memory. After a brief survey of the clinical varieties of the
amnesic syndrome, transient and persistent, selected theoretical issues will be considered …

The specific neural substrate underlying the amnesia in alcoholic Korsakoff's psychosis is
poorly defined because of the considerable brain damage found in many non-amnesic …
