issociable neural correlates of item and context retrieval in the edial temporal lobes
TLDR
Results provide direct evidence that, even when stimulus type is held constant, the PRc and PHc are supp preferentially involved in Episodic memory, which reflects the ability to remember that an object was previously presented in a specific temporal or spaial context.
Category-specific item encoding in the medial temporal lobe and beyond: The role of reward
TLDR
The behavioural and neural asymmetry of reward-related encoding effects may be conveyed through an anterior-temporal memory system, including AMY and PRC, potentially in interplay with the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC).
Category specificity in the medial temporal lobe: A systematic review
TLDR
Existing evidence for regional specialization in the MTL for three categories of visual stimuli: faces, objects, and scenes is evaluated and the need for the development of theoretical models of MTL function that can accommodate the differential patterns of specificity observed in theMTL is highlighted.
Brain Mechanisms of Successful Recognition through Retrieval of Semantic Context
TLDR
This study used fMRI to determine the extent to which the recruitment of regions in the recollection network is contingent on context reinstatement, and implicate medial temporal areas in the retrieval of semantic context, contributing to, but dissociation from, recollective experience.
Activity reductions in perirhinal cortex predict conceptual priming and familiarity-based recognition
False memory for context and true memory for context similarly activate the parahippocampal cortex
Context Memory Decline in Middle Aged Adults is Related to Changes in Prefrontal Cortex Function.
TLDR
Results suggest that there are changes in PFC contributions to context memory at midlife, as shown in healthy middle aged adults (MA) compared with young adults (YA).
The role of the parahippocampal cortex in cognition
Impaired perceptual integration and memory for unitized representations are associated with perirhinal cortex atrophy in Alzheimer's disease
An integrative memory model of recollection and familiarity to understand memory deficits
TLDR
An integrative memory model is proposed which describes the distributed and interactive neurocognitive architecture of representations and operations underlying recollection and familiarity and can guide future neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies aiming to understand how such a network allows humans to remember past events, to project into the future, and possibly also to share experiences.

Object Unitization and Associative Memory Formation Are Supported by Distinct Brain Regions

The role of recollection and familiarity in the functional differentiation of the medial temporal lobes
TLDR
There has been disagreement about whether recall/recollection is primarily mediated by the hippocampus and familiarity by the evolutionarily newer MTL cortices or whether the MTL mediates these kinds of memory in an integrated, homogeneous fashion.
Medial Temporal Lobe Activity during Source Retrieval Reflects Information Type, not Memory Strength
TLDR
Results showed that encoding color information as an item detail improved source recognition in amnesic patients with recollection deficits, and qualitatively different patterns of results observed in PRc and hippocampus/PHc are consistent with the idea that different MTL regions process different types of episodic information.
The medial temporal lobe and recognition memory.
TLDR
Evidence from neuropsychological, neuroimaging, and neurophysiological studies of humans, monkeys, and rats indicates that different subregions of the MTL make distinct contributions to recollection and familiarity; the data suggest that the hippocampus is critical for recollection but not familiarity.

TLDR
It was found that encoding activation in the right perirhinal cortex correlates with successful recollection of the paired object, and other MTL subregions also exhibited content-specific source encoding patterns of activation, suggesting that MTL subsequent memory effects are sensitive to stimulus category.
Perirhinal and Parahippocampal Cortices Differentially Contribute to Later Recollection of Object- and Scene-Related Event Details
TLDR
The results strongly point to representational domain as a key factor determining the involvement of different MTLC subregions during successful episodic memory formation.
Medial temporal lobe contributions to cued retrieval of items and contexts
Distinct roles for medial temporal lobe structures in memory for objects and their locations.
TLDR
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging to determine whether the perirhinal and parahippocampal cortices show differential memory-related activity for spatial and object recognition memory supports the idea that MTL structures make distinct contributions to recognition memory performance.
