The hippocampus assumes a special role in supporting abstract concept representation

2023-07-04

Abstract excerpt

Unlike images, words are representational symbols. The associative details inherent within a word’s meaning and the visual imagery it generates, are inextricably connected to the way words are processed and represented. It is well recognised that the hippocampus associatively binds components of a memory to form a lasting representation, and here we show that the hippocampus is especially sensitive to abstract wor...
