Episodic memory in semantic dementia: Implications for the roles played by the perirhinal and hippocampal memory systems in new learning
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 June 1999
Abstract
Aggleton & Brown (A&B) propose that the hippocampal-anterior thalamic and perirhinal-medial dorsal thalamic systems play independent roles in episodic memory, with the hippocampus supporting recollection-based memory and the perirhinal cortex, recognition memory. In this commentary we discuss whether there is experimental support for the A&B model from studies of long-term memory in semantic dementia.
