Functional segregation of rostral and caudal hippocampus in associative memory by Alicia Nunez Vorobiova, Matteo Feurra, Enea Francesco Pavone, Lennart Stieglitz, Lukas Imbach, Victoria Moiseeva, Johannes Sarnthein, Tommaso Fedele, Tommaso Fedele, Tommaso Fedele

“…However, the “where,” “when” and “how” of distinct aspects of memory processing in the hippocampus are still under debate.MethodsHere, we employed a visual associative memory task that involved encoding three levels of subjective congruence to delineate the differential involvement of the rostral and caudal portions (also referred as anterior/posterior portions) of the human hippocampus during memory encoding, recognition and associative recall.ResultsThrough stereo-EEG recordings in epilepsy patients we show that associative memory is reflected by rostral hippocampal activity during encoding, and caudal hippocampal activity during retrieval. …”
