Cholinergic mechanisms of episodic memory: What specific behavioural tasks can tell us about specific neural mechanisms (2011)
Journal Article
Easton, A., & Eacott, M. J. (2013). Cholinergic mechanisms of episodic memory: What specific behavioural tasks can tell us about specific neural mechanisms. Brain Research Bulletin, 92, 21-28. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brainresbull.2011.09.008

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...

Medial septal cholinergic neurons are necessary for context-place memory but not episodic-like memory (2011)
Journal Article
Easton, A., Fitchett, A., Eacott, M., & Baxter, M. (2011). Medial septal cholinergic neurons are necessary for context-place memory but not episodic-like memory. Hippocampus, 21(9), 1021-1027. https://doi.org/10.1002/hipo.20814

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...

Visual recognition memory across contexts (2011)
Journal Article
Jones, E., Pascalis, O., Eacott, M., & Herbert, J. (2011). Visual recognition memory across contexts. Developmental Science, 14(1), 136-147. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-7687.2010.00964.x

In two experiments, we investigated the development of representational flexibility in visual recognition memory during infancy using the Visual Paired Comparison (VPC) task. In Experiment 1, 6- and 9-month-old infants exhibited recognition when fami... Read More about Visual recognition memory across contexts.
