Rats and mice are attracted by novel objects. They readily approach novel objects and
explore them with their vibrissae, nose and forepaws. It is assumed that such a single …

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 …

The components of the medial temporal lobes (MTL) receive different kinds of input. The
perirhinal cortex receives primarily object/item information, the parahippocampal cortex …

The present experiment tested predictions of a 'perceptual–mnemonic/feature
conjunction'(PMFC) model of perirhinal cortex function. The model predicts that lesions of …

The perirhinal cortex plays a key role in acquiring knowledge about objects. It contributes to
at least four cognitive functions, and recent findings provide new insights into how the …

Damage to perirhinal cortex (PRh) impairs object recognition memory in humans, monkeys,
and rats when tested in tasks such as delayed nonmatching to sample, visual paired …

Abnormally phosphorylated tau accumulates as neurofibrillary tangles and neuropil threads
in older persons with and without Alzheimer's disease. The relationship between …

The prevailing paradigm in cognitive neuroscience assumes that the brain can be best
understood as consisting of modules specialised for different psychological functions. Within …

We have developed a simple connectionist model based on the idea that perirhinal cortex
has properties similar to other regions in the ventral visual stream, or 'what'pathway. The …

We establish the importance of cholinergic neurotransmission to both recognition memory
and plasticity within the perirhinal cortex of the temporal lobe. The muscarinic receptor …
