In recent years, studies ranging from single-unit recordings in animals to
electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography studies in humans have …

The hippocampal formation has been implicated in a growing number of disorders, from
Alzheimer's disease and cognitive ageing to schizophrenia and depression. How can the …

The entorhinal cortex has been implicated in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, which
is characterized by changes in the tau protein and in the cleaved fragments of the amyloid …

As indicated by the profound cognitive impairments caused by cholinergic receptor
antagonists, cholinergic neurotransmission has a vital role in cognitive function, specifically …

Recent functional imaging work supports the view that item and relational memory depend
upon distinct encoding operations within the medial temporal lobe. Specifically, emerging …

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 …

Cognitive functions not only depend on the localization of neural activity, but also on the
precise temporal pattern of activity in neural assemblies. Synchronization of action potential …

The formation of episodic memories—memories for life events—is affected by attention
during event processing. A leading neurobiological model of attention posits two separate …

Historically, psychologists and neuroscientists have distinguished between processes
supporting memory for events across retention delays of several seconds (short-term …

To investigate the neural basis of age-related source memory (SM) deficits, young and older
adults were scanned with fMRI while encoding faces, scenes, and face-scene pairs …
