The Cognitive Neuroscience of Human Memory Since H.M

Work with patient H.M., beginning in the 1950s, established key principles about the organization of memory that inspired decades of experimental work. Since H.M., the study of human memory and its disorders has continued to yield new insights and to improve understanding of the structure and organization of memory. Here we review this work with emphasis on the neuroanatomy of medial temporal lobe and diencephalic structures important for memory, multiple memory systems, visual perception, immediate memory, memory consolidation, the locus of long-term memory storage, the concepts of recollection and familiarity, and the question of how different medial temporal lobe structures may contribute differently to memory functions.

The Declarative/Procedural Model (2020, background): “(For more information about the declarative memory brain system and its functions, see Eichenbaum, 2012; Henke, 2010; Squire & Wixted, 2011; Ullman, 2004, in press.)”
Declarative and procedural memory as individual differences in second language acquisition* (2013, background): “Note that although all procedural memory is implicit, not all nondeclarative, implicit memory is procedural, as there are several different types that have been identified, e.g., priming, simple forms of conditioning, perceptual learning, among others (Squire & Wixted, 2011).”
Episodic Memory and Beyond: The Hippocampus and Neocortex in Transformation (2016, unknown): “To account for fMRI results, proponents of the SCT have argued that HPC activity observed while recalling remote memories is related to the re-encoding of autobiographical memories retrieved from the neocortex rather than to the memories themselves (Squire & Wixted 2011).”
The molecular and systems biology of memory. (2014, unknown): “…for facts (semantic) and events (episodic), which requires conscious participation for recall, first emerged with the detailed studies of the patient Henry Molaison (H.M.) by Milner and her colleagues (Scoville and Milner, 1957; Penfield and Milner, 1958; reviewed by Squire and Wixted, 2011).”
The restless engram: consolidations never end. (2012, result): “and other patients (Scoville and Milner, 1957; Rosenbaum et al., 2005; Squire and Wixted, 2011), supported by lesion studies in animal models (Mishkin, 1982; Olton et al.”
Efficient Partitioning of Memory Systems and Its Importance for Memory Consolidation (2013, unknown): “[2]) suggest that there may be distinct memory systems, and that memories, or some of their components, are temporarily stored in the medial temporal lobe and then transferred to other areas of the cortex.”
Rhythms of human attention and memory: An embedded process perspective (2022, background): “Complementing our understanding from psychology (e.g., Cowan, 1997) and the brain structures involved in attention and memory (e.g., Squire and Wixted, 2011), there is a growing consensus that information processing in the human brain is rhythmic (e.g., VanRullen, 2016; Fiebelkorn and Kastner,…”
