Document Summary

Perirhinal is within rhinal sulcus, speci c for visual input remove just this cortex bilaterally and the mokeys cannot perform dnms task amygdala -> emotional hippocampus -> context (not just spatial) Then info is sent back to neocortex for storage. Hoppocampus w/o entorhinal/perirhinal cortex the neocortex functions normally and the info can be held within working memory. Visual discrimination task response to a - always get reward neocortex. Parallel processing you have two independent types of learning mem w awareness procedural mem inferior temporal gyrus computes visual processing. Image of stimulus goes to medial temporal lobes to be able to remember the object 1 and also to. Bg to remember how to interact w object 2 response to b - never get reward works thro extinction (not punishment) this learning can proceed wo awareness. Procedure memory e. x. of dr petrides teaching in right side of classroom. Skinner: all behaviors could be explained by stimulus reward interactions (operant conditioning)
