Multiple memory systems for efficient temporal order memory

Abstract

AbstractWe report distinct contributions of multiple memory systems to the retrieval of the temporal order of events. The neural dynamics related to the retrieval of movie scenes revealed that recalling the temporal order of close events elevates hippocampal theta power, like that observed for recalling close spatial relationships. In contrast, recalling far events increases beta power in the orbitofrontal cortex, reflecting recall based on the overall movie structure.
