Verbal novelty detection within the human hippocampus proper.
Animal studies and neuropsychological tests of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy have demonstrated the importance of human medial temporal lobes for memory formation. In addition, more recent studies have shown that the human hippocampal region is also involved in novelty detection. However, the exact contribution of the hippocampus proper to these processes is still unknown. To examine furt...
متن کاملHuman memory: Novelty, association and the brain
The hippocampus has been clearly implicated in memory, but its precise role is unclear. Recent imaging studies suggest that the hippocampus is particularly concerned with the detection of novelty, as opposed to the prefrontal cortex, which seems more concerned with encoding associations.
متن کاملAutomatic Memory Selection via Novelty Detection
A small video camera attached to the body of a person can record essentially the same view as the person’s own visual system. Users of the Microsoft SenseCam exploit this fact and already the benefit of such footage for memory therapy has been demonstrated [2]. Undoubtedly, these systems would profit from the automatic extraction of memorable images. Although work exists which pursues this dire...
متن کاملSpatial memory and the human hippocampus.
The hippocampus and adjacent medial temporal lobe structures are known to support declarative memory, but there is not consensus about what memory functions the hippocampus might support that are distinct from the functions of the adjacent cortex. One idea is that the hippocampus is specifically important for allocentric spatial memory, e.g., the hippocampus is especially needed to remember obj...
متن کاملMemory, scene construction, and the human hippocampus.
We evaluated two different perspectives about the function of the human hippocampus--one that emphasizes the importance of memory and another that emphasizes the importance of spatial processing and scene construction. We gave tests of boundary extension, scene construction, and memory to patients with lesions limited to the hippocampus or large lesions of the medial temporal lobe. The patients...
