We consider how the neuronal network architecture of the hippocampus may enable it to act as an intermediate term buffer store for recent memories, and how information may be recalled from it to the cerebral cortex using modified synapses in backprojection pathways from the hippocampus to the cerebral cortex. The recalled information in the cerebral neocortex could then by used by the neocortex in the formation of long-term memories, which is severely impaired by damage to the hippocampus.

Abstract
We consider how the neuronal network architecture of the hippocampus may enable it to act as an intermediate term buffer store for recent memories, and how information may be recalled from it to the cerebral cortex using modified synapses in backprojection pathways from the hippocampus to the cerebral cortex. The recalled information in the cerebral neocortex could then by used by the neocortex in the formation of long-term memories, which is severely impaired by damage to the hippocampus.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
