自传体记忆（autobiographical memory，AM）是人类记忆的一种，但对它的神经生物学知之甚少。一项关于AM提取的正电子发射断层扫描（PET）研究显示，在提取过程中（与记忆控制任务相比），左额叶皮层显着活跃，左半球的下颞叶和枕叶也被激活。我们建议，这左额叶激活反映了操作的控制过程，调制的建设AM在后部新皮层网络。
Memory for the experiences of one's life, autobiographical memory (AM), is one of the most human types of memory, yet comparatively little is known of its neurobiology. A positron emission tomography (PET) study of AM retrieval revealed that the left frontal cortex was significantly active during retrieval (compared to memory control tasks), together with activation in the inferior temporal and occipital lobes in the left hemisphere. We propose that this left frontal lobe activation reflects the operation of control processes that modulate the construction of AMs in posterior neocortical networks.
