Neuroimaging studies have often failed to observe activity in the
hippocampal region during memory retrieval. Recently, two functional
magnetic resonance imaging studies reported activity in the hippocampal
region associated with recollective success. In both, participants
studied pictures of objects and were given a recognition memory test
with words that either did or did not name the studied objects. The
recognition test was therefore cross-modal or associative in nature.
These findings raise the question of what circumstances are required to
observe activity in the hippocampal region during memory retrieval.
Here, we report that robust hippocampal activity for targets relative
to foils occurred during retrieval in a recognition memory task when
single words were used at both study and test, as well as when pictures
of single nameable objects were used at both study and test. The
hippocampal region is involved not just in overtly associative tasks
but more broadly in the recollection of recently occurring facts and events.
Key words:
recognition memory; fMRI; hippocampus; declarative
memory; amnesia; associations
