Standard object recognition procedures assess animals’ memory through their spontaneous exploration of novel objects or novel configurations of objects with other aspects of their environment. Such tasks are widely used in memory research, but also i...

The episodic nature of episodic-like memories (2012)
Journal Article

Studying episodic memory in nonhuman animals has proved difficult because definitions in humans require conscious recollection. Here, we assessed humans’ experience of episodic-like recognition memory tasks that have been used with animals. It was fo... Read More about The episodic nature of episodic-like memories.

A specific role for septohippocampal acetylcholine in memory? (2012)

Acetylcholine has long been implicated in memory, including hippocampal-dependent memory, but the specific role for this neurotransmitter is difficult to identify in human neuropsychology. Here, we review the evidence for a mechanistic model of acety... Read More about A specific role for septohippocampal acetylcholine in memory?.

Understanding the neural basis of episodic memory is crucial for understanding how to treat memory loss in normal ageing as well as in disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. However, it is only recently that episodic memory has been able to be reliab...

Differential outcomes aid the formation of categorical relationships between stimuli (2011)

The differential outcome effect is when learning is enhanced through the application of different outcomes to different conditions of a task. Here we explore whether one difference in learning with differential outcomes is an enhanced categorisation...

Loss of cholinergic cortical input is associated with diseases in which episodic memory impairment is a prominent feature, but the degree to which this neurochemical lesion can account for memory impairment in humans with neurodegenerative diseases r...

Recollection is impaired, but familiarity remains intact in rats with lesions of the fornix (2009)

It has been argued that a neural system including the hippocampus, fornix, mamillary bodies, and anterior thalamus is specifically involved in recollection, but not in familiarity based memory processes. Here we test this hypothesis using a task of e... Read More about Recollection is impaired, but familiarity remains intact in rats with lesions of the fornix.

Both frontal-inferotemporal disconnection and fornix transection (Fx) in the monkey impair object-in-place scene learning, a model of human episodic memory. If the contribution of the fornix to scene learning is via interaction with or modulation of...

Episodic memory in humans is the conscious recollection of a past event.
