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 …

▪ Abstract The medial temporal lobe includes a system of anatomically related structures that
are essential for declarative memory (conscious memory for facts and events). The system …

Recent neurobiological studies have begun to reveal the cognitive and neural coding
mechanisms that underlie declarative memory—our ability to recollect everyday events and …

The mechanisms involved in plasticity in the nervous system are thought to support
cognition, and some of these processes are affected during normal ageing. Notably …

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 …

Tests of object recognition memory, or the judgment of the prior occurrence of an object,
have made substantial contributions to our understanding of the nature and neurobiological …

Results of several investigations indicate that eye movements can reveal memory for
elements of previous experience. These effects of memory on eye movement behavior can …

The prevailing view of medial temporal lobe (MTL) function has two principal elements: first,
that the MTL subserves memory but not perception, and second, that the many anatomically …

The caudate nucleus is commonly active when learning relationships between stimuli and
responses or categories. Previous research has not differentiated between the contributions …

Psychologists and neurobiologists have a long-standing interest in understanding how the
context surrounding the events of our lives is represented and how it influences our …
