Abstract
In their recent review, Murray and Bussey discuss in detail the findings from studies of perirhinal cortex function in non-human primates, and propose a model suggesting involvement of the perirhinal cortex in recognition memory and in visual perception1. It is interesting to consider how this evidence accords with studies of perirhinal cortex function in humans, and the authors proceed to discuss the emergent literature on this issue. They note that amnesic patients with damage including the perirhinal cortex tend to show recognition memory deficits but that those with damage confined to the hippocampus or fornix perform relatively normally on tests of recognition memory.
