This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognition memory judgments can be based on two dissociable processes: recollection and familiarity. It has recently been proposed that the perirhinal cortex (PRC)-mediated process supporting familiarity-based recognition may be related to other forms of mnemonic retrieval. Utilizing an individual differences approach, the first chapter of this dissertation investigates the extent to which familiarity- and recollection-based recognition are related to conceptual implicit memory and cued recall. Results indicate that familiarity is correlated with conceptual implicit memory whereas both recollection and familiarity are correlated with cued recall. Chapters two and three utilize patient lesion studies and functional MRI to assess the role of the PRC in conceptual implicit memory. We found that amnesic patients with damage to PRC are impaired in tasks assessing conceptual implicit memory and that PRC activity at encoding predicts subsequent conceptual, but not perceptual, implicit memory. In a follow-up study (Chapter 3), we report that PRC exhibited repetition-related suppression during conceptual priming, and also exhibited decreasing activity as a function of increasing memory confidence, or familiarity strength. Furthermore, PRC also exhibited greater activity for high confidence (i.e., recollected) items. The last chapter examines the role of the medial temporal lobes during cued recall, and results indicated that PRC is sensitive to the cued recall of abstract fractals encoded as items, whereas the parahippocampal cortex is sensitive to the cued recall of abstract fractals encoded as contexts (i.e., backgrounds). In sum, these findings indicate that the processes of familiarity-based recognition, conceptual implicit memory, and cued recall can be behaviorally related, and that PRC supports these processes through the encoding and retrieval of item representations.

Download or read book The Hippocampus from Cells to Systems written by Deborah E. Hannula and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hippocampus has long been considered a critical substrate in the neurobiology, neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience of memory. Over the past few decades, a number of ground-breaking theoretical and methodological advances have radically enhanced our understanding of the structure and function of the hippocampus and revolutionized the neuroscientific study of memory. Cutting across disciplines and approaches, these advances offer novel insights into the molecular and cellular structure and physiology of the hippocampus, the role of hippocampus in the formation, (re)consolidation, enhancement, and retrieval of memory across time and development, and permit investigators to address questions about how the hippocampus interacts, functionally and anatomically, with other neural systems in service of memory. In addition, recent investigations also suggest that the mechanistic properties and functional processing features of the hippocampus permit broader contributions to cognition, beyond memory, to the domains of attention, decision-making, language, social cognition, and a variety of other capacities that are critical for flexible cognition and behavior. These advances have profound implications for the neurobiology and cognitive neuroscience of hippocampus dependent cognition and for the numerous psychiatric and neurological diseases and disorders for which hippocampal pathology is a hallmark such as Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia. The goal of this book is to bring together in a single source an integrated review of these advances providing state of the art treatment on the structure and function of the hippocampus. Contributors will examine the hippocampus from a variety of levels (from cells to systems) using a wide range of methods (from neurobiological approaches in non-human animals to neuroimaging and neuropsychological work in humans).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in techniques available to memory researchers have led to a rapid expansion in the field of cognitive neuroscience of memory. This book provides accessible coverage of four key areas of recent advance, including research on functional imaging, electrophysiological and lesion studies, and developments from the computational modelling approach. The first section reviews functional imaging studies in humans, with particular emphasis on how imaging methods have clarified the cortical areas involved in memory formation and retrieval. The second section describes electrophysiological and lesion research in monkeys, where lesion and disconnection studies are rapidly adding to our knowledge of both information processing and modulatory aspects of memory formation. In the third section, electrophysiological and lesion studies in rats are reviewed allowing for a detailed study of the role of novelty and exploration in memory formation. The final section reviews current research in computational modelling which has allowed the development of new theoretical and experimental approaches to the study of memory encoding and retrieval. This volume draws together the current developments in each field, allowing the synthesis of ideas and providing converging evidence from a range of sources. It will be a useful resource for both advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of psychology, as well as researchers in the field and anyone with an interest in cognitive neuroscience.
