“…Those previous behavioral findings imply that scale‐invariance is a form of self‐similarity in that the holistic pattern can exist at multiple levels of magnification [and even across different memory systems, e.g., Maylor, 2002]. Here, our data affirmed the importance of the posterior parietal cortex in both immediate and long‐term retrieval [Berryhill et al, 2007, 2011] and further characterized its involvement in dealing with the spatial relations of objects within scenes [Bricolo et al, 2000; Buiatti et al, 2011]. Our data also demonstrated such short‐/long‐term correspondence exists in the precuneus/angular gyrus for temporal order retrieval (cf.…”

We investigated the neural correlates supporting three kinds of memory judgments after very short delays using naturalistic material. In two functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments, subjects watched short movie clips, and after a short retention (1.5–2.5 s), made mnemonic judgments about specific aspects of the clips. In Experiment 1, subjects were presented with two scenes and required to either choose the scene that happened earlier in the clip (“scene‐chronology”), or with a correct spatial arrangement (“scene‐layout”), or that had been shown (“scene‐recognition”). To segregate activity specific to seen versus unseen stimuli, in Experiment 2 only one probe image was presented (either target or foil). Across the two experiments, we replicated three patterns underlying the three specific forms of memory judgment. The precuneus was activated during temporal‐order retrieval, the superior parietal cortex was activated bilaterally for spatial‐related configuration judgments, whereas the medial frontal cortex during scene recognition. Conjunction analyses with a previous study that used analogous retrieval tasks, but a much longer delay (>1 day), demonstrated that this dissociation pattern is independent of retention delay. We conclude that analogous brain regions mediate task‐specific retrieval across vastly different delays, consistent with the proposal of scale‐invariance in episodic memory retrieval.

“…This is consistent with neuropsychological studies showing that patients with parietal lesions reported ABMs that lacked episodic richness (Berryhill et al, 2007;Davidson et al, 2008). With regard to the role of the parietal cortex in episodic memory, the current findings can be interpreted in light of the dual attentional processes hypothesis (Cabeza, 2008;Ciaramelli et al, 2008), which distinguishes between the role of dorsal and ventral parietal regions.…”

Autobiographical memory in amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) is characterized by impaired retrieval of episodic memories, but relatively preserved personal semantic knowledge.This study aimed to identify (via FDG-PET) the neural substrates of impaired episodic specificity of autobiographical memories in 35 aMCI patients compared with 24 healthy elderly controls.Significant correlations between regional cerebral activity and the proportion of episodic details in autobiographical memories from two life periods were found in specific regions of an autobiographical brain network. In aMCI patients, more than in controls, specifically episodic memories from early adulthood were associated with metabolic activity in the cuneus and in parietal regions. We hypothesized that variable retrieval of episodic autobiographical memories in our aMCI patients would be related to their variable capacity to reactivate specific sensoryperceptual and contextual details of early adulthood events linked to reduced (occipito-parietal) visual imagery and less efficient (parietal) attentional processes. For recent memories (last year), a correlation emerged between the proportion of episodic details and activity in lateral temporal regions and the temporo-parietal junction. Accordingly, variable episodic memory for recent events may be related to the efficiency of controlled search through general events likely to provide cues for the retrieval of episodic details and to the ability to establish a self perspective favouring recollection.

“…The intact performance on the recall experiments -employing the same stimuli and encoding tasks as in the recognition experiments -signify that information was accurately encoded. These same patients were also tested on a detailed autobiographical memory test and deficits were observed for information that was encoded long before they incurred parietal lesions, once again, indicating impaired memory retrieval (Berryhill et al, 2007).…”

The right parietal lobe is critical for visual working memory

Neuroimaging evidence suggests that the parietal lobe has an important role in memory retrieval, yet neuropsychology is largely silent on this topic. Recently, we reported that unilateral parietal lobe damage impairs various forms of visual working memory when tested by old/new recognition. Here, we investigate whether parietal lobe working memory deficits are linked to problems at retrieval. We tested two patients with bilateral parietal lobe damage in a series of visual working memory tasks that probed recall and old/new recognition. Stimuli were presented sequentially and several stimulus categories were tested. The results of these experiments show that parietal lobe damage disproportionately impairs old/new recognition as compared to cued recall across stimulus categories. The observed performance dissociation suggests that the posterior parietal lobe plays a particularly vital role in working memory retrieval.
