Frontal lobes and human memory: insights from functional neuroimaging.
The new functional neuroimaging techniques, PET and functional MRI (fMRI), offer sufficient experimental flexibility and spatial resolution to explore the functional neuroanatomical bases of different memory stages and processes. They have had a particular impact on our understanding of the role of the frontal cortex in memory processing. We review the insights that have been gained, and attemp...
متن کاملFrontal Lobes and Memory
Casual observations of patients with focal frontal lobe lesions often reveal little if any cognitive impairment (Fuster, 1989; Hebb, 1945). At the same time, such patients display an assortment of cognitive deficits upon neuropsychological assessment (Janowsky et al., 1989c; Luria, 1980; Stuss & Benson, 1984). With respect to memory, focal frontal injury does not produce a severe amnesic disord...
متن کاملFunctional coupling between frontal and parietal lobes during recognition memory.
Neuroimaging studies have suggested that the frontal and parietal lobes may be important for the process by which we remember information. However, little is known about how these regions exchange information during memory retrieval. We measured EEG synchronisation in the gamma-band (25-55 Hz), a putative measure of functional coupling between brain regions, while human subjects performed a rec...
متن کاملCholinergic modulation of cognition: Insights from human pharmacological functional neuroimaging
Evidence from lesion and cortical-slice studies implicate the neocortical cholinergic system in the modulation of sensory, attentional and memory processing. In this review we consider findings from sixty-three healthy human cholinergic functional neuroimaging studies that probe interactions of cholinergic drugs with brain activation profiles, and relate these to contemporary neurobiological mo...

Controlling access to memory allows us to recover task-relevant information and to relate it to our decisions, actions, and goals. Neuropsychological and neuroimaging evidence suggests that memory control includes multiple component processes that depend on different regions of prefrontal cortex (PFC). Here, we highlight the distinction between PFC networks involved in controlling retrieval ver...
