Abstract: The present thesis addresses the role of structures in the human medial temporal lobe (MTL) in memory formation and retrieval.More specifically, guided by a detailed consideration of the anatomical connections both amongst the subregions of the MTL and between the MTL and regions of the neocortex, two principles of the functional organization of the MTL are explored: domain-specificity and process-specificity.Domain-specificity refers to the idea that the neurocognitive processes underlying memory performance may differ depending on the sensory domain of the processed stimuli.This is of particular relevance because recent anatomical investigations suggest that subregions of the primate MTL have distinct patterns of connections with sensory cortices.Study 1: Domain-specific retrieval of source information 2. Study 1 Domain-specific retrieval of source information in the medial temporal lobe.
