Document Summary
Prime structures for explicit memory: medial temporal region, frontal cortex & closely related structures. Medial temporal region: receives multiple sensory inputs, made up of, subcortical hippocampus & amygdala, entorhinal cortex, parahippocampal cortex, perirhinal cortex. Hippocampus: involved in visuospatial memory processes for recalling object locations. Injuries in hippocampus: deficit in various forms of spatial memory. Hippocampi of animals that require lots of spatial memory larger: animals that hide their food in different places larger hippocampi volumes, london taxi cab drivers larger hippocampi. Explicit memory"s temporal pathway reciprocal: connections from the neocortex entorhinal cortex neocortex. Reciprocal connection benefits: keep sensory experience alive neural experience of stimulus outlasts actual stimulation, stays informed about the information being processed in both regions. All sensory systems send information to the frontal lobe. Different cells in the prefrontal cortex fire for different functions of stm: finding the same location.
