Most research in cognitive neuroscience explores how external stimuli are processed by the
brain. However, the brain also receives input from the internal body. We discuss here how …

Although the perirhinal cortex (PRC), parahippocampal cortex (PHC) and retrosplenial
cortex (RSC) have an essential role in memory, the precise functions of these areas are …

To evaluate the veracity of models of the mere exposure effect and to understand the
processes that moderate the effect, we conducted a meta-analysis of the influence of …

The role of the hippocampus in recognition memory is controversial. Recognition memory
judgments may be made using different types of information, including object familiarity, an …

The aims of the paper are to update Rolls' quantitative computational theory of hippocampal
function and the predictions it makes about the different subregions (dentate gyrus, CA3 and …

One of the most robust experience-related cortical dynamics is reduced neural activity when
stimuli are repeated. This reduction has been linked to performance improvements due to …

The authors present a computational neural-network model of how the hippocampus and
medial temporal lobe cortex (MTLC) contribute to recognition memory. The hippocampal …

According to dual-process models, recognition memory is supported by distinct retrieval
processes known as familiarity and recollection. Important evidence supporting the dual …

The hallmark of medial temporal lobe amnesia is a loss of episodic memory such that
patients fail to remember new events that are set in an autobiographical context (an …

According to the Hebb rule, the change in the strength of a synapse depends only on the
local interaction of presynaptic and postsynaptic events. Studies at many types of synapses …
