Recent studies of animals with complex nervous systems, including humans and other
primates, have improved our understanding of how the brain accomplishes learning and�…

Cognitive neuroscience is that part of the brain sciences concerned with the functional
organization and neural substrates of higher cortical functions, eg, perception, attention�…

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�…

Insights into human amnesia and new developments with animal models of amnesia in
nonhuman primates have contributed to understanding the organization of memory in the�…

Neuropsychology aims to describe how the brain accomplishes learning and memory, in a
way that speaks both to cognitive psychology and neuroscience. This paper presents a�…

Clinical and experimental studies have shown that the hippocampal formation and related
structures in the medial temporal lobe are important for learning and memory. Retrograde�…

Using a task known to be sensitive to human amnesia, we have evaluated two current
hypotheses about which brain regions must be damaged to produce the disorder. Monkeys�…

Publisher Summary This chapter explores whether or not hippocampal lesions produce
amnesia in animals or not. There are two theories of this experiment:(1) theories proposing�…

The neurology of memory has been illuminated by parallel studies of patients with
circumscribed memory impairment and animal models of human amnesia. Human amnesia�…

The biology of memory is presently being investigated at a variety of levels from the cellular
to the neuropsychological. The interdisciplinary nature of neuroscience has encouraged the�…
