Representational Approach to Hippocampal Functions : a fMRI Study

Summary

Although traditional neuropsychological models associate medial temporal lobe (MTL) regions to memory, and the hippocampus to episodic memory, there is growing evidence supporting an alternative view. The representational view of the MTL proposes that such regions depends on the representations processed rather than the cognitive processes. The aim of this project is to characterise the role played by MTL areas, and particularly the hippocampus, in mnemonic and non-mnemonic cognition. Hypotheses stemming from the representational view will thus be tested, using functional MRI among young healthy participants.

Conditions

  • Memory, Episodic
  • Form Perception

Interventions

DEVICE

MRI-scanner

Only one group of 30 participants is constituted. All participants will perform perception and memory tasks inside a MRI-scanner. Functional activity (BOLD signal) will be registered, as well as anatomical and behavioural data.
