Processing mechanisms of relational and non-relational memory

This doctoral thesis addresses the issues of dissociability of relational memory (RM) and non-relational memory (NRM) and of potential similarity of spatial and nonspatial RM in humans: Whether the hippocampus and perirhinal cortex are critical in RM and NRM, respectively, or whether the hippocampus is key for both RM and NRM, is under discussion. Whether the hippocampus is crucial for general ...

Spatial Relational Memory Requires Hippocampal Adult Neurogenesis

The dentate gyrus of the hippocampus is one of the few regions of the mammalian brain where new neurons are generated throughout adulthood. This adult neurogenesis has been proposed as a novel mechanism that mediates spatial memory. However, data showing a causal relationship between neurogenesis and spatial memory are controversial. Here, we developed an inducible transgenic strategy allowing ...

Component Processes Of Memory: Changes Across The Adult Lifespan

What abilities or skills need to be recruited for free recall of a list of words, to what extent do they influence performance, and does their influence remain constant across the lifespan? These and related questions were addressed in an investigation with 163 community dwelling healthy adults. In a session that lasted about 2.5 hours, each participant received a battery of tests, including th...
