tlooto Summary

There is good correspondence between ERP results and those from brain imaging studies that map hemodynamic changes, suggesting that the combination of the high temporal resolution of ERPs with the high spatial resolution of hemodynamic imaging methods will provide a greatly increased understanding of the spatio‐temporal dynamics of the brain networks that encode and retrieve explicit memories.

Abstract

As event‐related brain potential (ERP) researchers have increased the number of recording sites, they have gained further insights into the electrical activity in the neural networks underlying explicit memory. A review of the results of such ERP mapping studies suggests that there is good correspondence between ERP results and those from brain imaging studies that map hemodynamic changes. This concordance is important because the combination of the high temporal resolution of ERPs with the high spatial resolution of hemodynamic imaging methods will provide a greatly increased understanding of the spatio‐temporal dynamics of the brain networks that encode and retrieve explicit memories.
