“…From functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI ) studies, we also know that a distributed and highly consistent network of brain regions supports memory for past experiences. This comprises dorsal and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (PFC), lateral PFC, the hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, lateral temporal cortices, temporoparietal junction, thalamus, retrosplenial cortex (RSC), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), precuneus and cerebellum (Maguire 2001a;Maguire & Frith 2003;Svoboda et al 2006;Cabeza & St Jacques 2007;Hassabis et al 2007a; figure 1). Despite over a decade of activating this network, however, surprisingly little is understood about the contributions individual brain areas make to the overall recollective experience .…”
