Limbic System Flashcards
the ability to recollect events or facts that have a specific temporal and spatial context
Declarative memory
Hippocampus important
ability to learn new motor skills
Procedural memory
memory that lasts for fractions of a second to seconds. Most sensory systems include this type of memory, and the processes underlying this type of memory takes place in sensory cortex.
Short-term memory
The type of memory that lasts for seconds to minutes
working memory
memory that lasts for days and years
long-term memory
The input to the hippocampus is from ___________ through a bundle of axons called the perforant path
entorhinal cortex
Hypothalamic input is complex b/c the entorhinal cortex receives widely distributed input from many areas of __________, as would be expected for a structure involved in memory consolidation
neocortex
a part of the cerebral cortex concerned with sight and hearing in mammals, regarded as the most recently evolved part of the cortex.
neocortex
basis for memory consolidation
CA1 and CA3 (Ammon’s horn ) neurons undergoing long term potentiation
Pick’s disease
Anger problems
Memory problems
Dentate gyrus
contribute to the formation of new episodic memories
Ammon’s horn
?
The hippocampus architecture: where one layer of neuron cell bodies arranged in a spiral semicircle (the cells in the Dentate gyrus) is surrounded by a larger spiral semicircle of neuronal cell bodies (_________).
Ammon’s horn
CA1, CA3
part of parallel input
The hippocampus architecture: where one layer of neuron cell bodies arranged in a spiral semicircle (__________) is surrounded by a larger spiral semicircle of neuronal cell bodies (Ammon’s horn).
