讲座题目：Human hippocampal contributions to temporal duration memory 主讲人：Andy C. H. Lee 教授 主持人：郭思齐 副教授 讲座地址：中北校区俊秀楼223
报告人简介： Following a B.A. in Psychology, Physiology, and Philosophy at the University of Oxford, Andy was a Ph.D. student at the Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge. He then undertook a post-doctoral position with Prof. Kim Graham at the MRC Cognition & Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge, UK. Andy C H Lee currently works at the Department of Psychology at Scarborough, University of Toronto. Andy does research in Neuroscience, Biological Psychology and Experimental Psychology. 报告内容： Although there is much evidence that the hippocampus processes temporal information in the service of episodic memory, for example temporal order and context information, the role of the human hippocampus in subserving temporal duration memory has been less clear. More specifically, while rodent and nonhuman primate work has reported that hippocampal neurons fire at specific times in the order of seconds during the empty delay between two events, there has been little evidence that the human hippocampus is involved in memory for durations at this time scale. In this talk, I will discuss recent research from my lab, which speaks to this issue. By presenting data from multivariate functional MRI and amnesic patient studies, I hope to demonstrate that the human hippocampus is indeed critical for memory for durations in the order of seconds, but crucially only in the context of sequences of events.
