## Abstract The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is known to play an essential role in recognition memory (the ability to judge the prior occurrence of a stimulus). Electrophysiological studies in nonhuman primates have suggested the presence of more than one type of recognition signal in the medial temp
## Abstract This study examined the involvement of medial temporal lobe, especially the hippocampus, in processing spatial and nonspatial relations using episodic and semantic versions of a relational judgment task. Participants studied object arrays and were tested on different types of relations
The integrity of the hippocampal formation is necessary for the correct function of declarative memory for facts and events. Normal aging is associated with a widespread decrease in cortical volume, including the hippocampal formation and related cortical areas, although in many cases, memory is onl
