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

Perceptual–mnemonic functions of the perirhinal cortex
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
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 …
