Recent advances in techniques available to memory researchers have
led to a rapid expansion in the field of cognitive neuroscience of
memory. This book provides accessible coverage of four key areas of
recent advance, including research on functional imaging,
electrophysiological and lesion studies, and developments from the
computational modelling approach. The first section reviews
functional imaging studies in humans, with particular emphasis on
how imaging methods have clarified the cortical areas involved in
memory formation and retrieval. The second section describes
electrophysiological and lesion research in monkeys, where lesion
and disconnection studies are rapidly adding to our knowledge of
both information processing and modulatory aspects of memory
formation. In the third section, electrophysiological and lesion
studies in rats are reviewed allowing for a detailed study of the
role of novelty and exploration in memory formation. The final
section reviews current research in computational modelling which
has allowed the development of new theoretical and experimental
approaches to the study of memory encoding and retrieval. This
volume draws together the current developments in each field,
allowing the synthesis of ideas and providing converging evidence
from a range of sources. It will be a useful resource for both
advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of psychology, as
well as researchers in the field and anyone with an interest in
cognitive neuroscience.
