The role of the perirhinal cortex and hippocampus in learning, memory, and perception.

Journal article

One traditional and long-held view of medial temporal lobe (MTL) function is that it contains a system of structures that are exclusively involved in memory, and that the extent of memory loss following MTL damage is simply related to the amount of MTL damage sustained.
