The role of GABA in semantic memory and its neuroplasticity

eLife
A fundamental challenge in neuroscience is understanding neural functioning and plasticity of the brain. The anterior temporal lobe (ATL) is a hub for semantic memory, which generates coherent conceptual representations.

The construction of semantic memory: grammar based representations learned from relational episodic information

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2011
After acquisition, memories underlie a process of consolidation, making them more resistant to interference and brain injury. Memory consolidation involves systems-level interactions, most importantly between the hippocampus and associated structures ...

Semantic cognition: a re-examination of the recurrent network "hub" model

, 2012
This paper explores a model of “semantic cognition” first described in Rogers et al. (2004). This model was shown to reproduce the behaviour of neurological patients who perform poorly on a variety of tests of semantic knowledge; thus purporting to ...

An Investigation of Phonological and Semantic Control Using TMS and fMRI [PDF]

, 2012
This thesis aimed to investigate the neural basis of linguistic and semantic control across brain networks, using fMRI and TMS. Firstly we assessed the contribution of premotor cortex (PMC) to speech perception: TMS disrupted phonological but not ...

Automatic and controlled semantic retrieval: TMS reveals distinct contributions of posterior middle temporal gyrus and angular gyrus [PDF]

, 2015
Semantic retrieval involves both (1) automatic spreading activation between highly related concepts and (2) executive control processes that tailor this activation to suit the current context or goals.

Semantic and episodic processes differently predict false memories in the DRM task

Scientific Reports
There is a fervent debate about the processes underpinning false memories formation. Seminal theories have suggested that semantic memory would be involved in false memories production, while episodic memory would counter their formation.

Episodic and semantic memory functioning in very old age: Explanations from executive functioning and processing speed theories

Cogent Psychology, 2015
Structural equation modeling was used to investigate whether age-related episodic and semantic memory impairments are better explained by decline in processing speed or executive functioning (or both), rather than directly in terms of memory components ...

Interacting Memory Systems—Does EEG Alpha Activity Respond to Semantic Long-Term Memory Access in a Working Memory Task?

Biology, 2014
Memory consists of various individual processes which form a dynamic system co-ordinated by central (executive) functions. The episodic buffer as direct interface between episodic long-term memory (LTM) and working memory (WM) is fairly well studied but

HOW DO EPISODIC AND SEMANTIC MEMORY CONTRIBUTE TO EPISODIC FORESIGHT IN YOUNG CHILDREN? [PDF]

, 2014
Humans are able to transcend the present and mentally travel to another time, place, or perspective. Mentally projecting ourselves backwards (i.e., episodic memory) or forwards (i.e., episodic foresight) in time are crucial characteristics of the human ...

The effect of positively arousing images on Declarative Memory

Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience & Mental Health
Declarative memory, that is, the recall of conscious memories from long-term memory, can involve either details of a previous experience (episodic memory) or general knowledge about the world (semantic memory).
