This project aims to investigate the role of the prefrontal cortex in human memory. While the medial temporal lobe has long been recognised as imperative for basic memory processes, the prefrontal cortex has only recently been recognised to mediate higher-level strategic memory processes. This project will clarify the memory functions of the dorsolateral, orbitofrontal, and medial prefrontal lobes by studying performance of individuals with damage in these areas using memory tests and tasks. Our findings will enhance understanding and theorising of the neural basis of memory and have implications for management and rehabilitation of memory impairments in brain injured individuals.

这个项目旨在研究前额叶皮层在人类记忆中的作用。虽然内侧颞叶长期以来被认为是基本记忆过程的关键，但前额叶皮层直到最近才被认为是更高层次的战略记忆过程的中介。该项目将通过使用记忆测试和任务研究在这些区域受损的个体的表现来阐明背外侧，眶额和内侧前额叶的记忆功能。我们的研究结果将增强对记忆神经基础的理解和理论化，并对脑损伤个体记忆障碍的管理和康复具有影响。
