Abstract Information concerning the roles of different brain regions in recognition memory
processes is reviewed. The review concentrates on findings from spontaneous recognition …

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of aging. The hallmark
pathophysiology includes the development of neuronal Lewy bodies in the substantia nigra …

While the essential contribution of the hippocampus to spatial memory is well established,
object recognition memory has been traditionally attributed to the perirhinal cortex (PRh) …

It is commonly conceived that the cortical areas of the hippocampal region are functionally
divided into the perirhinal cortex (PRC) and the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC), which …

Animals exhibit a behavioral response to novel sensory stimuli about which they have no
prior knowledge. We have examined the neural and behavioral correlates of novelty and …

Ever since their discoveries, the Wnt pathways have been consistently associated with key
features of cellular development, including metabolism, structure and cell fate. The three …

Dual-process accounts of item recognition posit two memory processes: slow but detailed
recollection, and quick but vague familiarity. It has been proposed, based on prior rodent …

In our everyday life, we continuously get to know people, dominantly through their faces.
Several neuroscientific experiments showed that familiarization changes the behavioral …

The successful recognition of familiar persons is critical for social interactions. Despite
extensive research on the neural representations of familiar faces, we know little about how …
