A critical role for the anterior hippocampus in relational memory: Evidence from an fMRI study comparing associative and item recognition

Sullivan Giovanello, Kelly, Schnyer, David M., Verfaellie, Mieke·2004·Hippocampus

Abstract

Neuroscientific research has established that the hippocampal formation, a structure within the medial temporal lobe (MTL), plays a critical role in memory for facts and events (declarative memory) (Milner et al., 1998). However, its precise role remains unclear. According to one view, the hippocampus has a special role in relating or binding together previously unrelated pieces of information, while another view proposes that the hippocampus is equally involved in all forms of declarative memory, regardless of their demands on relational processing. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we show that hippocampal activation is modulated by the extent to which a retrieval task depends on relational processing. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

  • The anterior portion of the hippocampus is associated with relational processes that contribute to the ability to integrate memory details across experiences.

    “In particular, the anterior portion of the hippocampus is associated with relational processes (77–79) that contribute to the ability to integrate memory details across experiences (80).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
