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 …

Focusing primarily on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), this article reviews
evidence regarding the roles of subregions of the medial temporal lobes, prefrontal cortex …

Theory of mind, or" mindreading" as it is termed in this book, is the ability to think about
beliefs, desires, knowledge and intentions. It has been studied extensively by …

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 …

The new functional neuroimaging techniques, PET and functional MRI (fMRI), offer sufficient
experimental flexibility and spatial resolution to explore the functional neuroanatomical …

As event‐related brain potential (ERP) researchers have increased the number of recording
sites, they have gained further insights into the electrical activity in the neural networks …

Humans can recollect past events in details (recollection) and/or know that an object,
person, or place has been encountered before (familiarity). During the last two decades …

Rostral prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a large brain region, and is unusually large in humans.
Therefore, it seems likely that it might support functions that are central to cognition …

In contrast to item memory, which refers to recognition or recall of previously presented
information, source memory refers to memory for the context of previously presented …

Reality monitoring processes are necessary for discriminating between internally generated
information and information that originated in the outside world. They help us to identify our …
