Brain regions involved in visual recognition memory, including the
hippocampus, have been investigated by measuring differential neuronal
activation produced by novel and familiar pictures. Novel and familiar
pictures were presented simultaneously, one to each eye, using a paired
viewing procedure. Differential neuronal activation was determined
using immunohistochemistry for the protein products of c-fos as an
imaging technique. The results establish that the regions of the rat
brain associated with discriminating the novelty or familiarity of an
individual item (such as a single object) differ from those responding
to a spatial array of items (such as a scene). Perirhinal cortex and
area TE of the temporal lobe are activated significantly more by
pictures of novel than of familiar individual objects, but the
hippocampus is not differentially activated. In contrast, pictures of
novel arrangements of familiar items produce significantly greater
activation than familiar arrangements of these items in postrhinal
cortex and subfield CA1 of the hippocampus but significantly less
activation in the dentate gyrus and subiculum; perirhinal cortex and
area TE are not differentially activated. Thus, the hippocampus is
importantly involved in processing information essential to recognition
memory concerning the relative familiarity of arrangements of items, as
needed for episodic memory of scenes, whereas the perirhinal cortex
processes such information for individual items.
