Almost always, it occupies the depths of the sulcus andor its lateral bank, interposed between the entorhinal cortex medially and the neocortex along the lateral surface of the cerebral hemisphere. Further investigation revealed that the rhinal process seems to be a correlate of semantic preprocessing which supports memory formation, whereas the hippocampal process appears to be a correlate of an exclusively mnemonic operation.

Interleaving brain systems for episodic and recognition memory. The rhinal cortex in the medial temporal lobe has been implicated in object recognition memory tasks and indeed is considered to be the critical node in a visual memory network. It then examines the more advanced features of the cortex architecture such as memory protection, operating modes and dual stack operation. Human declarative memory formation crucially depends on processes within the medial temporal lobe mtl. This latter region in the anterior medial temporal lobe is covered by rhinal cortex and provides the main input to the hippocampus 9.
Other components of the mediotemporal lobe include the rhinal cortex and the amygdala. For example, a persons spatial memory is required in order to navigate around a familiar city, just as a rats spatial memory is needed to learn the location of food at the end of a maze. Following any learning event, the longterm memory for the event is not instantaneously formed. The rhinal cortex is the cortex surrounding the rhinal fissure, including the entorhinal cortex and. This book provides accessible coverage of four key areas of recent advance, including research on functional imaging, electrophysiological and lesion studies, and developments from the computational modelling approach.

This idea was first formulated by jacobsen, who reported in 1936 that damage to the primate prefrontal cortex caused shortterm memory deficits.
Hence, the rhinal cortex is wellpositioned to serve as the gatekeeper of the declarative memory system. Rhinalhippocampal connectivity determines memory formation. The role of the hippocampal system in retrograde and anterograde amnesia was investigated by using a novel olfactoryguided paradigm and a traditional test of spatial learning. The more familiar an item is, the less rhinal processing it requires and the less vigorously it is encoded into memory. Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles. The inherent function, anatomy, and histological composition of these cortical regions are discussed. The perirhinal cortex in terms of topography can be localized around or in the vicinity of the rhinal sulcus in all mammals and marsupials.
