The Hippocampal circuit & Explicit Memory
Hippocampus - part of a circuit with input to & from parietal, temporal, frontal lobes & limbic system (amygdala).
CA1 , CA2 , CA3 layers of HPC form a circuit allowing access to cortex
- CA1 layer - sensitive to anoxia & epileptic activity (CASE R.B.)
Damage to HPC or its inputs/outputs --> LTM impairment
