Delay-dependent contributions of medial temporal lobe regions to episodic memory retrieval

Open access

Abstract

The medial temporal lobes play an important role in episodic memory, but over time, hippocampal contributions to retrieval may be diminished. However, it is unclear whether such changes are related to the ability to retrieve contextual information, and whether they are common across all medial temporal regions. Here, we used functional neuroimaging to compare neural responses during immediate and delayed recognition. Results showed that recollection-related activity in the posterior hippocampus declined after a 1-day delay. In contrast, activity was relatively stable in the anterior hippocampus and in neocortical areas. Multi-voxel pattern similarity analyses also revealed that anterior hippocampal patterns contained information about context during item recognition, and after a delay, context coding in this region was related to successful retention of context information. Together, these findings suggest that the anterior and posterior hippocampus have different contributions to memory over time and that neurobiological models of memory must account for these differences.

TL;DR

Using fMRI, this study compared immediate and 1-day-delayed item recollection and found that posterior hippocampal recollection-related activity declined over the delay, whereas anterior hippocampal and neocortical recollection activity was relatively stable. Anterior hippocampal multi-voxel patterns also carried context information that, after the delay, was related to successful retention of context associations.

Key findings

  • Recollection-related activity in posterior hippocampus declined after a 1-day delay (left: F(1,18) = 5.68, p = 0.028; right: F(1,18) = 3.93, p = 0.063), with greater activity for immediate than delayed recollection (left: F(18) = 5.61, p = 0.029; right: F(18) = 5.75, p = 0.028), and no delay-dependent change in familiarity trials.
  • Anterior hippocampus, perirhinal cortex, and parahippocampal cortex showed stable recollection effects over time; anterior and posterior hippocampus were dissociable by an ROI × delay interaction, F(1,18) = 5.80, p = 0.027.
  • During immediate recollection, left anterior hippocampal patterns showed greater similarity for same-room than different-room pairs, t(18) = 2.34, p = 0.015, with a similar trend in left perirhinal cortex, t(18) = 1.73, p = 0.051; no other MTL regions showed significant context similarity.
  • After the delay, left anterior hippocampal context similarity correlated with associative recognition accuracy, r = 0.53, t(16) = 2.53, p = 0.022; the PRC correlation was not significant, r = 0.25, t(16) = 1.02, p = 0.32. Behaviorally, item recognition d′ was 1.79 ± 0.43 immediately vs 1.14 ± 0.32 after delay, and associative recognition d′ was 1.34 ± 0.59 immediately vs 0.59 ± 0.38 after delay.

Methods

  • Thirty young adults (15 female; ages 18–31) were scanned; after exclusions, 28 contributed behavioral data and 19 contributed fMRI data (9 female).
  • Across two consecutive days, participants encoded sentences pairing objects with one of eight rooms; Day 1 items formed the delayed list and Day 2 items formed the immediate list. Item recognition was scanned approximately 20 min after Day 2 encoding, followed by an associative recognition test.
  • fMRI analyses used manually segmented ROIs for anterior hippocampus, posterior hippocampus, perirhinal cortex, and parahippocampal cortex, with univariate repeated-measures ANOVAs and multi-voxel pattern similarity analyses of single-trial beta images.

Limitations

  • Stated in the paper: because memory was tested after a 1-day delay, the study cannot disentangle changes attributable to active sleep-dependent processes from more passive time-dependent changes.
  • Stated in the paper: the authors could not directly measure trial-specific information in posterior hippocampus, and future work is needed with longer intervals and other context manipulations.
  • Evident from the text: the final fMRI sample was 19 participants after excluding 9 for insufficient variability in memory performance, which limits power; context similarity effects were small, and the perirhinal cortex effect was only marginal.

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.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-09.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-09.

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.
