Cognitive neuroscience of episodic memory

情景记忆是指专门用于事件及其特定上下文（包括时间和空间）的记忆系统。这种记忆系统依赖于多个大脑区域，包括海马和其他内侧颞叶结构，前额叶皮层和顶叶皮层等区域。在过去的几年里，在NSERC的资助下，我和我的学生一直在使用认知神经科学方法探索这种情景记忆系统的多个维度。使用功能性磁共振成像（fMRI），我们已经检查了记忆干扰的神经相关性（Lepage等人，2005; Blondin等人，2008）关联和项目记忆（Achim等人，二○ ○五年;二○ ○六年; 2008）、情绪记忆（Sergerie 2005; 2006; 2007; Harvey 2007）、知觉启动（Blondin 2005）以及最近的动作记忆（Pelletier et al.，正在筹备中）。

Episodic memory denotes a memory system specialized for events and their specific context including time and space. This memory system relies on multiple brain regions including the hippocampus and other medial temporal lobe structures, the prefrontal cortex and parietal cortex among other regions. In the past few years and with funding from NSERC, my students and I have been exploring multiple dimensions of this episodic memory system using a cognitive neuroscientific approach. Using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), we have examined neural correlates of memory interference (Lepage et al., 2005; Blondin et al., 2008) associative and item memory (Achim et al., 2005; 2006; 2008), emotional memory (Sergerie 2005; 2006; 2007; Harvey 2007), perceptual priming (Blondin 2005), and more recently memory for actions (Pelletier et al., in preparation).
