CHAPTER 2 S : Amnesia and Distributed Memory
نویسنده
چکیده
phenomenon of bitemporal amnesiathe deficit in memory that is pro0 duced bi a bilateral insult to the medial temporal lobes of the brain. Bitemporal amnesia is interesting from the point of view of distributed models because two distinct aspects of the phenomenon seem to suggest very different things about the biological plausibility of distributed models. One prominent aspect of bitemporal amnesia is that it produces a

The Status of Semantic and Episodic Memory in Amnesia
Since Scoville and Milner's landmark report of the amnesic patient referred to as H.M., it has been known that the medial temporal lobes play a critical role in our ability to form new memories. Importantly, studies of amnesia have highlighted the fact that not all forms of memory are equally affected by damage to the medial temporal lobes. Nondeclarative or implicit memory is largely intact, a...
متن کاملMemory's Fragile Power
Written in an engagingly anecdotal style, Searching for memory provides a review of recent, and not-so recent, research into memory, focusing particularly on the fallibility of memory. Subtitled "The brain, the mind, and the past" one might be forgiven for thinking that the book would deal with explanations at the level of neuroscience. In fact, with the exception of a brief foray into brain re...
متن کاملProteome Analysis of Rat Hippocampus Following Morphine-induced Amnesia and State-dependent Learning
Morphine’s effects on learning and memory processes are well known to depend on synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. Whereas the role of the hippocampus in morphine-induced amnesia and state-dependent learning is established, the biochemical and molecular mechanisms underlying these processes are poorly understood. The present study intended to investigate whether administration of morphine ...
متن کاملInvolvement of Median Septum Region in Ghrelin Effects on Morphine-Induced Memory Impairment in Passive Avoidance Learning
Background and purpose: Many studies have reported the effect of morphine on memory impairment. Evidence suggests that ghrelin enhances memory consolidation. The median septum also has a major role in memory and learning mechanisms. The present study aimed at investigating the role of median septum on the effects of ghrelin in morphine-induced amnesia. Materials and methods: In this experiment...
متن کاملThe medial temporal lobe memory system.
Studies of human amnesia and studies of an animal model of human amnesia in the monkey have identified the anatomical components of the brain system for memory in the medial temporal lobe and have illuminated its function. This neural system consists of the hippocampus and adjacent, anatomically related cortex, including entorhinal, perirhinal, and parahippocampal cortices. These structures, pr...
