Insights into the Distinct Roles of Hippocampal Networks in Human Memory Function (5 of 9)

Caption

Study co-author Molly Hermiller explains how study participants are tested on their memory. They are first asked to memorize images as they relate to scenes and second to remember in which square each image appeared in a six-square grid. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Aug. 22, 2018, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by S. Kim at Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Ill., and colleagues was titled, "Selective and coherent activity increases due to stimulation indicate functional distinctions between episodic memory networks."
