In this review, we will discuss the idea that the hippocampus may be involved in both
memory and perception, contrary to theories that posit functional and neuroanatomical …

Many current theoretical views within the literature on recognition memory—a representative
sample of which is provided by the present special issue—advocate the dissociation of …

The neurobiological processes underpinning the natural forgetting of long-term memories
are poorly understood. Based on the critical role of GluA2-containing AMPA receptors …

Pattern separation (PS) has been defined as a process of reducing overlap between similar
input patterns to minimize interference amongst stored representations. The present article …

Long-term memories are stored as configurations of neuronal ensembles, termed engrams.
Although investigation of engram cell properties and functionality in memory recall has been …

Critical to perceiving an object is the ability to bind its constituent features into a cohesive
representation, yet the manner by which the visual system integrates object features to yield …

Poor memory after brain damage is usually considered to be a result of information being
lost or rendered inaccessible. It is assumed that such memory impairment must be due to the …

Memory and perception have long been considered separate cognitive processes, and
amnesia resulting from medial temporal lobe (MTL) damage is thought to reflect damage to …

The perirhinal cortex is located in a pivotal position to influence the flow of information into
and out of the hippocampal formation. In this review, we examine the anatomical …

A fundamental assumption underlying most current theories of amnesia is that memory
impairments arise because previously studied information either is lost rapidly or is made …
