Abstract

Explicit information for memory is believed to be stored relatively stable after its conversion to a long-term memory(LTM) in the hippocampus, following the organism's elaborative processing of it. Systems (re)consolidation addresses the importance of dynamic properties of explicit LTM, and consequently has attracted modern memory researchers. According to this theory, the engram of the explicit LTM formed in the hippocampus transfers gradually to the cerebral cortex as the memory consolidates. When reactivated, the engram tends to return to the hippocampus, leading to the integration of additional pieces of information, and then is retransmitted up to the cerebral cortex. Although considerable neuropsychological data underlying this theory have been obtained from medial temporal lobe-lesioned patients including H.M., modern memory-related researches based on these cases have little addressed a possible direct serial linkage of extents of their brain damages to ranges of their failure in retrieving explicit memory. Furthermore, the researches have little reflected the patients' various aspects seen during their memory retrieval onto the dynamic flow of the explicit LTM during systems (re)consolidation. Therefore, the present review, regarding the hippocampus-dependent explicit memory, accounted for the patients' various characteristics of the memory retrieval depending upon their ranges of brain damage, via serial combination of their discrete individual cases on the basis of the systems (re)consolidation theory. The present approach provides a useful framework in reinterpreting these cases dynamically.
