Anatomy of episodic memory

The structures that are most important for episodic memory are quite different from those that serve semantic and procedural memory. Episodic memory involves conscious activation (i.e., arousal by the core brainstem structures discussed In chapter 3) of stored patterns of cortical connectivity (i.e., facilitated synaptic networks) representing previous perceptual events.8 The directories of such links between the stored cortical patterns and various states of the brainstem SELF seem to be encoded, above all, through the hippocampus. The hippocampus is a folded piece of primitive cortex that lies on the Inner surface of the forebrain within the temporal lobe (Figure 5.6). It is densely interconnected with a group of other structures loosely termed the “limbic system” (see chapter 1).
