Perceptual deficits in amnesia: challenging the medial temporal lobe 'mnemonic'view

ACH Lee, TJ Bussey, EA Murray, LM Saksida… - Neuropsychologia, 2005 - Elsevier
Recent animal studies suggest that the medial temporal lobe (MTL), which is thought to
subserve memory exclusively, may support non-mnemonic perceptual processes, with the …

Can animals recall the past and plan for the future?

NS Clayton, TJ Bussey, A Dickinson - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2003 - nature.com
According to the 'mental time travel hypothesis' animals, unlike humans, cannot mentally
travel backwards in time to recollect specific past events (episodic memory) or forwards to …

Running enhances spatial pattern separation in mice

…, LM Saksida, H Van Praag, TJ Bussey - Proceedings of the …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
Increasing evidence suggests that regular exercise improves brain health and promotes
synaptic plasticity and hippocampal neurogenesis. Exercise improves learning, but specific …

Double dissociation between the effects of peri-postrhinal cortex and hippocampal lesions on tests of object recognition and spatial memory: heterogeneity of function …

…, RA Cowell, LM Saksida, TJ Bussey - Journal of …, 2004 - Soc Neuroscience
It is widely believed that declarative memory is mediated by a medial temporal lobe memory
system consisting of several distinct structures, including the hippocampus and perirhinal …

Object recognition memory: neurobiological mechanisms of encoding, consolidation and retrieval

BD Winters, LM Saksida, TJ Bussey - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral …, 2008 - Elsevier
Tests of object recognition memory, or the judgment of the prior occurrence of an object,
have made substantial contributions to our understanding of the nature and neurobiological …

Perceptual–mnemonic functions of the perirhinal cortex

EA Murray, TJ Bussey - Trends in cognitive sciences, 1999 - cell.com
It is widely acknowledged that the perirhinal cortex, located in the ventromedial aspect of the
temporal lobe, is essential for certain types of memory in macaque monkeys. For example, …

Visual perception and memory: a new view of medial temporal lobe function in primates and rodents

EA Murray, TJ Bussey, LM Saksida - Annu. Rev. Neurosci., 2007 - annualreviews.org
The prevailing view of medial temporal lobe (MTL) function has two principal elements: first,
that the MTL subserves memory but not perception, and second, that the many anatomically …

Perirhinal cortex resolves feature ambiguity in complex visual discriminations

TJ Bussey, LM Saksida… - European Journal of …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
The present experiment tested predictions of a ‘perceptual–mnemonic/feature conjunction’ (PMFC)
model of perirhinal cortex function. The model predicts that lesions of perirhinal …

The touchscreen operant platform for testing learning and memory in rats and mice

…, CA Oomen, A Holmes, LM Saksida, TJ Bussey - Nature protocols, 2013 - nature.com
An increasingly popular method of assessing cognitive functions in rodents is the automated
touchscreen platform, on which a number of different cognitive tests can be run in a manner …

Triple dissociation of anterior cingulate, posterior cingulate, and medial frontal cortices on visual discrimination tasks using a touchscreen testing procedure for the rat.

TJ Bussey, JL Muir, BJ Everitt… - Behavioral …, 1997 - psycnet.apa.org
Four experiments examined effects of quinolinic acid-induced lesions of the anterior cingulate,
posterior cingulate, and medial frontal cortices on tests of visual discrimination learning, …
