The hippocampus is known to play a role in the encoding of memory that associates between a face and a name. The experiment began by dividing encoding blocks, in which the participants viewed and attempted to memorize the faces paired with the names, from retrieval blocks, in which the participants were shown only the faces and asked to match ...
The hippocampus. The hippocampus is a structure in the brain that has been associated with various memory functions. It is part of the limbic system, and lies next to the medial temporal lobe. It is made up of two structures, the Ammon's Horn, and the Dentate gyrus, each containing different types of cells. [1]
The hippocampal subfields are four subfields CA1, CA2, CA3, and CA4 that make up the structure of the hippocampus.Regions described in the hippocampus are the head, body, and tail, and other hippocampal subfields include the dentate gyrus, the presubiculum, and the subiculum.
Neuroscience acknowledges the existence of many types of memory and their physical location within the brain is likely to be dependent on the respective system mediating the encoding of this memory. [9] Such brain parts as the cerebellum, striatum, cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala are thought
Alcohol impairs episodic encoding, specifically for cued recall, recognition of completed word fragments, and free recall. [31] A blackout is an example of a difficulty in encoding episodic memories due to alcohol. Blackouts are caused by a rapid increase in blood alcohol concentration (BAC) which in turn distorts the neurons in the hippocampus ...
[6] [7] Baddeley's model of working memory suggests that visual information is stored in the visuo-spatial sketchpad. [4] The visuo-spatial sketchpad is connected to the central executive, which is a key area of working memory. The amygdala is another complex structure that has an important role in visual encoding. It accepts visual input in ...
The hippocampus has been implicated as a key structure for spatial memory in humans, and studying behavior in food caching birds and other animals has been extremely influential on this view. [27] [38] Sherry and his colleagues were also able to show that food-caching birds have much larger hippocampus’ than non food-caching birds. Without ...
In particular, the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex and the amygdala are affected. [5] [6] One class of stress hormone responsible for negatively affecting long-term, delayed recall memory is the glucocorticoids (GCs), the most notable of which is cortisol. [1] [6] [7] Glucocorticoids facilitate and impair the actions of stress in the brain ...
