Cognitive neuroscience of human memory
TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed about which brain regions mediate specific kinds of procedural memory, including sensorimotor, perceptual, and cognitive skill learning; perceptual and conceptual repetition priming; and several forms of conditioning.

Abstract: Current knowledge is summarized about long-term memory systems of the human brain, with memory systems defined as specific neural networks that support specific mnemonic processes. The summary integrates convergent evidence from neuropsychological studies of patients with brain lesions and from functional neuroimaging studies using positron emission tomography (PET) or functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Evidence is reviewed about the specific roles of hippocampal and parahippocampal regions, the amygdala, the basal ganglia, and various neocortical areas in declarative memory. Evidence is also reviewed about which brain regions mediate specific kinds of procedural memory, including sensorimotor, perceptual, and cognitive skill learning; perceptual and conceptual repetition priming; and several forms of conditioning. Findings are discussed in terms of the functional neural architecture of normal memory, age-related changes in memory performance, and neurological conditions that affect memory such as amnesia, Alzheimeris disease, Parkinsonis disease, and Huntingtonis disease.

Procedural learning deficits in specific language impairment (SLI): a meta-analysis of serial reaction time task performance
TL;DR: The authors used meta-analysis and meta-regression to evaluate whether evidence to date demonstrates deficits in procedural memory in individuals with specific language impairment (SLI), and examine reasons for inconsistencies of findings across studies.

Role of the Basal Ganglia in Category Learning: How Do Patients With Parkinson's Disease Learn?
TL;DR: Examining learning strategies among patients with basal ganglia dysfunction showed that patients with Parkinson's disease exhibit different patterns of strategy use, and most controls adopted a more complex, optimal learning strategy, integrating single-cue associations to predict outcomes for multiple-cue stimuli.
Perceptual learning, awareness, and the hippocampus
Joseph R. Manns,Larry R. Squire +1 more
TL;DR: The available data suggest that damage limited to the hippocampal formation does not impair nonconscious (nondeclarative) memory, and do not contradict the idea that hippocampus‐dependent memory is accessible to conscious recollection.

TL;DR: The finding of age-related sparing of processes that sustain motor skill learning, provides further support for the proposition of different memory systems relying on different brain substrates.

TL;DR: It is shown that brief electrical stimulation to the human amygdala can enhance declarative memory for specific images of neutral objects without eliciting a subjective emotional response, and that the amygdala can initiate endogenous memory prioritization processes in the absence of emotional input.

Parallel Organization of Functionally Segregated Circuits Linking Basal Ganglia and Cortex
TL;DR: The basal ganglia serve primarily to integrate diverse inputs from the entire cerebral cortex and to "funnel" these influences, via the ventrolateral thalamus, to the motor cortex.
Loss of recent memory after bilateral hippocampal lesions.
TL;DR: The results of these studies point to the importance of the hippocampal complex for normal memory function in patients who had undergone similar, but less radical, bilateral medial temporallobe resections, and as a warning to others of the risk to memory involved in bilateral surgical lesions of the hippocampusal region.

Loss of recent memory after bilateral hippocampal lesions. 1957.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the anterior hippocampus and hippocampal gyrus, either separately or together, are critically concerned in the retention of current experience.
Specific impairments of planning
TL;DR: An information-processing model is outlined that predicts that performance on non-routine tasks can be impaired independently of performance on routine tasks, related to views on frontal lobe functions, particularly those of Luria.
