Following studies of brain damage associated with cases of amnesia, perirhinal cortex is now widely regarded as part of a \u201cmedial temporal lobe (MTL) memory system\u201d. This system is thought to be more or less functionally homogeneous, having a special role in declarative memory, and making little or no contribution to other functions such as perception. In the present article, we summarize an alternative view. First, we propose that components of the putative MTL system such as the hippocampus and perirhinal cortex have distinct and dissociable functions. Second, we provide evidence that the perirhinal cortex has a role in visual discrimination. In addition, we propose a specific role for perirhinal cortex in visual discrimination: the contribution of complex conjunctive representations to the solution of visual discrimination problems with a high degree of \u201cfeature ambiguity\u201d. These proposals constitute a new view of perirhinal cortex function, one that does not assume strict modularity of function in the occipito-temporal visual stream, but replaces this idea with the notion of a hierarchical representational continuum.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/02724990544000004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,9,7]],"date-time":"2005-09-07T02:24:58Z","timestamp":1126059898000},"page":"269-282","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":181,"title":["The Perceptual-Mnemonic\/Feature Conjunction Model of Perirhinal Cortex Function"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Timothy J.","family":"Bussey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Cambridge, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa M.","family":"Saksida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Cambridge, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elisabeth A.","family":"Murray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nn960"},{"key":"bibr2-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.0953-816x.2001.01491.x"},{"key":"bibr3-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1098-1063(2001)11:1<61::AID-HIPO1021>3.0.CO;2-Z"},{"key":"bibr4-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"361","DOI":"10.1080\/02724990544000013","volume":"58","author":"Bright P","journal-title":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology"},{"key":"bibr5-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"246","DOI":"10.1080\/02724990444000186","volume":"58","author":"Buckley MJ","journal-title":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology"},{"key":"bibr6-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0735-7044.111.3.467"},{"key":"bibr7-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0028-3932(97)00120-6"},{"key":"bibr8-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.18-06-02268.1998"},{"key":"bibr9-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1101\/lm.6.6.572"},{"key":"bibr10-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1098-1063(1998)8:4<330::AID-HIPO3>3.0.CO;2-L"},{"key":"bibr11-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.0953-816x.2001.01850.x"},{"key":"bibr12-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.0953-816x.2001.01851.x"},{"key":"bibr13-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1460-9568.2003.02475.x"},{"key":"bibr14-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.3796-03.2004"},{"key":"bibr15-02724990544000004","first-page":"267","volume-title":"Handbook of neuropsychology","volume":"2","author":"Desimone R","year":"1989"},{"key":"bibr16-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"202","DOI":"10.1080\/02724990444000203","volume":"58","author":"Eacott MJ","journal-title":"Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology"},{"key":"bibr17-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1460-9568.1994.tb01008.x"},{"key":"bibr18-02724990544000004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"ForwoodSE WintersBD BusseyTJ (in press) Hippocampal lesions that abolish spatial maze perform-ance spare object recognition memory at delays of up to 48 hours.
