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.

The social neuroscience of intergroup relations
TL;DR: The social neuroscience approach integrates theories and methods of social psychology and neuroscience to address questions about social behaviour at multiple levels of analysis as discussed by the authors, and has been especially popular in the domain of intergroup relations.
Suppressing unwanted memories reduces their unconscious influence via targeted cortical inhibition.
TL;DR: The findings suggest a neurobiological model of how motivated forgetting affects the unconscious expression of memory that may be generalized to other types of memory content, and suggest that the century-old assumption that suppression leaves unconscious memories intact should be reconsidered.
A mnemonic theory of odor perception.
TL;DR: It is argued here that this reliance on profiling odors reflects a basic property of odor perception, namely that odor quality depends on the implicit memories that an odorant elicits.

Glutamate Dysfunction in Hippocampus: Relevance of Dentate Gyrus and CA3 Signaling
TL;DR: Hippocampal imaging studies in schizophrenia have identified 2 alterations in MTL--increases in baseline blood perfusion and decreases in task-related activation, which suggest that homeostatic plasticity mechanisms might be altered in schizophrenia hippocampus.

Inducing motor skill improvements with a declarative task
TL;DR: It is concluded that off-line memory processing relies not only on the engagement of neuroplastic mechanisms but also on the disengagement of an interaction between declarative and procedural memory systems.

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.
