The Cognitive Neuroscience of Human Memory Since H.M.

Abstract: Work with patient H.M., beginning in the 1950s, established key principles about the organization of memory that inspired decades of experimental work. Since H.M., the study of human memory and its disorders has continued to yield new insights and to improve understanding of the structure and organization of memory. Here we review this work with emphasis on the neuroanatomy of medial temporal lobe and diencephalic structures important for memory, multiple memory systems, visual perception, immediate memory, me… Show more

“…Hippocampal lesions in mice cause retrograde amnesia for events occurring a few hours prior to the damage (Izquierdo & McGaugh, 2000). On the contrary, hippocampal lesions in human beings produce retrograde amnesia of several years (Corkin, 2002;Squire & Wixted, 2011). This difference shows that hippocampal processing of information is more prolonged in humans than in mice.…”

“…Traditionally, the perirhinal cortex (Brodmann's cytoarchitectonic areas 35 and 36) of the medial temporal lobe is believed to be necessary for declarative memory, but unnecessary for perception (e.g., Squire and Zola-Morgan, 1991;Suzuki, 2009;Clark et al, 2011;Kim et al, 2011;Squire and Wixted, 2011). In recent years, however, an alternative view has emerged.…”

“…It has acquired an important status in cognitive science, where it features in some influential cognitive architectures such as Soar (e.g., Newell, 1990), ACT-R (e.g., Anderson, 1983;1993), and CLARION (e.g., Sun, 2002). It is intimately associated with the multiple memory system (MMS) model that distinguishes two main components to long-term memory, declarative and non-declarative memory (see, e.g., Milner et al, 1998;Squire & Wixted, 2011).…”
