Imaging the medial temporal lobe: exploring new dimensions
Abstract
Cognitive scientists have used developments in functional imaging to explore the role of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) in memory formation. Lesion studies have suggested that separate MTL subregions make distinct contributions to memory. Functional imaging of these distinct contributions, however, remains a challenge, because the proximity of the MTL substructures tests the spatial resolution limits of current techniques. Recent findings using electrophysiological measures of neural activity highlight the importance of using information from other imaging modalities. Integrating the different modalities of neuroimaging with lesion studies, and, further, combining modalities within experiments, will provide new insights into the function of MTL subregions.

The hippocampal cortex is involved in memory.
“In addition, we hypothesized increases in the brain regions involved in attention and memory, the anterior cingulate gyrus (19) and hippocampal cortex (20), respectively.”

Left hippocampal gyrus is associated with memory and the ability to form associations.
“Changes also were seen in left hippocampal gyrus, a region associated with memory and the ability to form associations (20), skills that are also emphasized in the program.”

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.
