Dissociable effects of arousal and valence on prefrontal activity indexing emotional evaluation and subsequent memory: an event-related fMRI study (2004, background): “Given the functions typically attributed to these regions (Moscovitch, 1992; Simons and Spiers, 2003), it is reasonable to assume that in MTL, emotion enhances the storage and consolidation of memory representations, whereas in PFC, it enhances strategic encoding processes.”
The temporal context model in spatial navigation and relational learning: toward a common explanation of medial temporal lobe function across domains. (2005, background): “Although frontal regions participate in encoding and retrieval into episodic memory (for recent reviews see Rugg, Otten, & Henson, 2002; Simons & Spiers, 2003), this does not imply that the locus of ti is in PFC, even if one grants that TCM is an accurate description of episodic recall.”
The gateway hypothesis of rostral prefrontal cortex (area 10) function. (2007, background): “An interesting further question concerned the stage of the retrieval process during which rostral PFC might be recruited: pre-retrieval cue specification or post-retrieval monitoring and verification, for example (Burgess & Shallice, 1997; Simons & Spiers, 2003 ).”
Effects of memory training on cortical thickness in the elderly (2010, background): “The orbitofrontal cortex have strong reciprocal connections with the medial temporal lobe (MTL), known to be heavily involved in memory processing (Simons and Spiers, 2003).”
Updating P300: an integrative theory of P3a and P3b. (2007, neutral): “…from frontal attention and working memory processes to temporal/parietal activation has been documented in primates and findings from intra-cranial as well as neuroimaging recordings in humans (cf. Brázdil et al., 2001, 2003; Desimone et al., 1995; Halgren et al., 1998; Simons and Spiers, 2003).”
Visual objects in context (2004, background): “, possibly reflecting the interaction between these two region”
Neural activity that predicts subsequent memory and forgetting: A meta-analysis of 74 fMRI studies (2011, background): “Several encoding models have implicated PFC– MTL interaction as the critical component of successful encoding (Buckner et al., 1999; Fernandez and Tendolkar, 2001; Simons and Spiers, 2003 ).”
Celebrities and Shoes on the Female Brain: The Neural Correlates of Product Evaluation in the Context of Fame (2009, background): “Retrieving semantic information, as compared to episodic experience, has been shown to activate consistently the superior prefrontal cortex and middle temporal gyrus, predominantly in the left hemisphere (Simons and Spiers, 2003; Wiggs et al., 1999).”
New circuits for old memories: the role of the neocortex in consolidation. (2004, background): “In addition, the PFC has also been implicated in memory renergic modulation is required for the retrieval of recent but not remote contextual memories (Murchison et al.,retrieval (Markowitsch, 1995; Nyberg et al., 1996; Tomita et al., 1999; Fuster, 2001; Simons and Spiers, 2003; 2004).”
A Neurocognitive Approach to Metacognitive Monitoring and Control (2008, background): “These regions are intricately connected to cortical and subcortical regions outside the PFC and have interconnections among themselves (Petrides & Pandya, 2001; Simons & Spiers, 2003).”
The Episodic Memory System: Neurocircuitry and Disorders (2009, neutral): “Prefrontal–temporal interactions have been a particularly attractive starting point for theoretical work in this area on episodic memory (Simons and Spiers, 2003).”
The Influences of Emotion on Learning and Memory (2017, background): “Simons and Spiers (2003) also reviewed studies of interactions between the PFC and MTL during the memory encoding and retrieval processes underlying successful LTM.”
