Document Summary
The hippocampal component: a module for episodic, associative memory. Conscious recollection of episodes in which the cue is sufficient for retrieval (e. g. , simple recognition and cued recall) Hippocampal structure consists of a circuit consisting of: hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, entorhinal cortex, perirhinal cortex, mammillary bodies, dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus, the cingulate cortex, and the fornix. Amnesia is associated with bilateral damage of these structures. The input modules and central system deliver their output to working memory. The contents of working memory are accessible to consciousness. The domain of the hippocampal component is consciously apprehended information (ie the information processed by the hippocampal component. Hippocampus binds or integrates the output from the modules and central systems that contributed to the conscious experience. The bound engram (memory trace) is encoded as a file entry in the hippocampal complex. Then is processed, which might be affected by the control central system and it is both together to the integrated memory trace .
