Abstract
|
|
|
A fundamental question about human memory is which brain structure are involved in
transforming experience into memories. It is now clear that there are a number of
different forms or aspects of learning and memory that involve different brain systems.
Recent findings from lesion work with non-human primates and functional neuroimaging
studies with healthy human subjects have led to a de-emphasis of the role of
hippocampus in learning and memory. They emphasized the regions beyond the
hippocampus, in the medial temporal lobe as well as the neocortex, as equally important
components of memory circuits in the brain. This article summarizes the specific roles
of hippocampal regions, the amygdala, medial diencephalon, and neocortex. In the
decades ahead we anticipate that extensions of current research and the new exciting
techniques promise novel insights into mechanisms of memory.
