Spatiotemporal pattern of brain electrical activity related to immediate and delayed episodic memory retrieval
2020, Neurobiology of Learning and MemoryCitation Excerpt :These findings are consistent with those of some studies that have consistently related the activation of MTL regions, together with parietal regions, to recollection. Specifically, some MEG and ERP/LORETA studies observed recollection-related brain activity in the parahippocampal gyrus (Breier, Simos, Zouridakis, & Papanicolaou, 1998; Dhond, Witzel, Dale, & Halgren, 2005; Tendolkar et al., 2000), in the right inferior parietal lobe (Kim et al., 2009) and in the precuneus (Dhond et al., 2005; Tendolkar et al., 2000). In addition, our results are in line with previous studies that used higher spatial resolution techniques such as fMRI, which have also emphasized the role of the parahippocampal gyrus (Cansino, 2002; Kahn, Davachi, & Wagner, 2004), the inferior parietal lobe (Herron, Henson, & Rugg, 2004; Vilberg & Rugg, 2007; Yonelinas, Otten, Shaw, & Rugg, 2005), as well as other nearby regions such as the precuneus, the posterior cingulate gyrus and the retrosplenial cortex (Donaldson, Wheeler, & Petersen, 2010; Kahn et al., 2004), in the recollection (for a review see, Eichenbaum et al., 2007; Ranganath & Ritchey, 2012; Vilberg & Rugg, 2008).
On the sensitivity of event-related fields to recollection and familiarity
2018, Brain and CognitionCitation Excerpt :That is the intention of the research described here. This builds on indications of the general sensitivity of MEG measures to memory processes, which has been accomplished via assessment of ERFs (Tendolkar et al., 2000; Walla et al., 1999; Walla, Hufnagl, Lindinger, Deecke, & Lang, 2001; Walla, Hufnagl, Lindinger, Deecke, Imhof, et al., 2001), time-frequency plots (Düzel et al., 2003; Düzel, Habib, Guderian, & Heinze, 2004; Guderian & Düzel, 2005; Neufang, Heinze, & Düzel, 2006), and/or data transformed into source space (Dhond, Witzel, Dale, & Halgren, 2005; Gonsalves, Kahn, Curran, Norman, & Wagner, 2005; Lee, Simos, Sawrie, Martin, & Knowlton, 2005; Seibert, Hagler, & Brewer, 2011). For ERFs, Düzel and colleagues (Düzel, Neufang, & Heinze, 2005) identified three temporally and spatially separable ERF modulations comprising changes in signal strength for items that attracted correct ‘old’ rather than correct ‘new’ judgments.
Magnetoencephalographic correlates of processes supporting long-term memory judgments
2009, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :While the number of ERF studies of recognition memory is small in comparison to the number of ERP studies, the existing data indicate that ERFs index some retrieval processing operations. Tendolkar et al. (2000) acquired ERFs in a recognition memory paradigm where visually presented words where the study and test stimuli. They identified a parietally distributed old/new effect between 500 and 800 ms. On the basis of the time course of this effect and its scalp distribution, they hypothesised that it was the magnetic homologue of the left-parietal ERP old/new effect and thus indexed recollection.

2008, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :They insisted that medial temporal and temporoparietal areas are involved in recognition memory. Tendolkar et al. (2000) also found that the old/new effect was associated with activations in the right medial temporal lobe, right inferior frontal and left inferior parietal areas. In addition, Dhond et al. (2005) attempted to spatiotemporally map the cortical activities underlying delayed word repetition and recognition, and observed activations of the lateral prefrontal cortex, anterior temporal and medial parietal regions from 500 ms after stimulus-onset, as well as the ventral occipitotemporal regions from 700 ms after stimulus-onset.
