Hippocampus: Remembering the Choices
نویسنده
چکیده
The hippocampus is said to be involved in "navigation" and "memory" as if these were distinct functions. In this issue of Neuron, Singer et al. (2013) provide evidence that the hippocampus retrieves spatial sequences in support of memory, strengthening a convergence between the two perspectives on hippocampal function.

Remembering and imagining differentially engage the hippocampus: a multivariate fMRI investigation.
It has been proposed that imagining the future depends on the ability to retrieve episodic details from past experiences in order to recombine them into novel possible experiences; consequently, the processes of remembering and imagining rely on similar neural substrates, including the hippocampus. We used fMRI and both univariate and multivariate analysis techniques to test this prediction. Un...
متن کاملDoes the hippocampus mediate objective binding or subjective remembering?
Human functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) evidence suggests the hippocampus is associated with context memory to a greater degree than item memory (where only context memory requires item-in-context binding). A separate line of fMRI research suggests the hippocampus is associated with "remember" responses to a greater degree than "know" or familiarity based responses (where only rememb...
متن کاملEffective Connectivity between Hippocampus and Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex Controls Preferential Choices from Memory
Although many preferential choices in everyday life require remembering relevant information, the interplay of neural systems mediating decisions and memory has rarely been studied. We addressed this question by combining a task, in which choice options had to be retrieved from memory, with cognitive modeling and fMRI. We found that memory-guided decisions are captured by established process mo...
متن کاملRole of the hippocampus in remembering the past and imagining the future.
It has been proposed that a core network of brain regions, including the hippocampus, supports both past remembering and future imagining. We investigated the importance of the hippocampus for these functions. Five patients with bilateral hippocampal damage and one patient with large medial temporal lobe lesions were tested for their ability to recount autobiographical episodes from the remote ...
متن کاملHippocampal contributions to the episodic simulation of specific and general future events.
Recent studies have demonstrated that remembering past experiences and imagining future scenarios recruits a core network including the hippocampus. Even so, constructing future events engages the hippocampus more than remembering past events. This fMRI study examined whether increased hippocampal activity for future events includes both specific and general events. Participants constructed spe...
