Recognition and spatial memory are typically associated with the perirhinal cortex and hippocampal formation, respectively. Solely focusing on these structures for these specific mnemonic functions may, however, be limiting progress...

Animals often show an innate preference for novelty. This preference facilitates spontaneous exploration tasks of novelty discrimination (recognition memory). In response to limitations with standard spontaneous object recognition procedures for...

Rats with lesions of the perirhinal cortex and a control group were required to find a platform in 1 corner of a white rectangle and in the reflection of this...

Rats with perirhinal cortex lesions were sequentially trained in a rectangular water tank on a series of 3 visual discriminations, each between mirror-imaged stimuli. When these same discriminations were tested...

Expression of the immediate-early gene c-fos was used to test for different patterns of temporal lobe interactions when rats explore either novel or familiar objects. A new behavioural test of...

The present study revealed striking task-dependent differences in immediate-early gene activity in the two main subregions (granular and dysgranular) of the retrosplenial cortex. In addition, there were activity differences along...

The medial diencephalon is vital for memory, but it is not known why. The present study tested between the predictions of current hypotheses as to why this region is critical...

The present study examined whether hippocampal lesions disrupt retrosplenial cortex function. The immediate-early genesc-fos and zif268 provided markers of cellular activity, and their levels were compared in different cytoarchitectonic subregions...
