Memory: organization and control.

Abstract

A major goal of memory research is to understand how cognitive processes in memory are supported at the level of brain systems and network representations. Especially promising in this direction are new findings in humans and animals that converge in indicating a key role for the hippocampus in the systematic organization of memories. New findings also indicate that the prefrontal cortex may play an equally important role in the active control of memory organization during both encoding and retrieval. Observations about the dialog between the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex provide new insights into the operation of the larger brain system that serves memory.

  • The IFG and hippocampus have been implicated in retrieval of well-established semantic memories.

    “Several of the identified brain regions, such as the IFG and the hippocampus, have been implicated in retrieval of well-established semantic memories (Martin and Chao, 2001; Binder and Desai, 2011; Eichenbaum, 2017).”

    From Retrieval Practice Is Effective Regardless of Self-Reported Need for Cognition - Behavioral and Brain Imaging Evidence (2022) · cites this paper as Eichenbaum, 2017

    The sections on hippocampal memory organization and prefrontal control link the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex to retrieval from memory organizations. They do not identify the IFG or establish a role for either region in retrieving well-established semantic memories; the hippocampal section says semantic memory can remain relatively intact after hippocampal damage.

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.
