It is widely assumed that incipient protein pathology in the medial temporal lobe instigates
the loss of episodic memory in Alzheimer's disease, one of the earliest cognitive deficits in …

The past decade has seen a transformation in research on the retrosplenial cortex (RSC).
This cortical area has emerged as a key member of a core network of brain regions that …

The role of the hippocampus in recognition memory is controversial. Recognition memory
judgments may be made using different types of information, including object familiarity, an …

This review brings together current knowledge from tract tracing studies to update and
reconsider those limbic connections initially highlighted by Papez for their presumed role in …

This review charts recent advances from a variety of disciplines that create a new
perspective on why the multiple hippocampal–anterior thalamic interconnections are …

The previous editions of The Rat Nervous System were indispensable guides for those
working on the rat and mouse as experimental models. The fourth edition enhances this …

A review of medial temporal lobe connections reveals three distinct groupings of
hippocampal efferents. These efferent systems and their putative memory functions are:(1) …

Conflicting models persist over the nature of long-term memory. Crucial issues are whether
episodic memory and recognition memory reflect the same underlying processes, and the …

The anterior thalamic nuclei are a vital node within hippocampal-diencephalic-cingulate
circuits that support spatial learning and memory. Reflecting this interconnectivity, the …

The age of an experimental animal can be a critical variable, yet age matters are often
overlooked within neuroscience. Many studies make use of young animals, without …
