 | | Declarative, or explicit, memory involves structures in the medial temporal lobe, medial diencephalon, and ventral portion of the prefrontal cortex. |
 | | We tested infant monkeys, at different ages, with tasks that measured different forms of memory and compared their performance to that of animals that had received specific lesions of the brain, such as the ventral prefrontal cortex and hippocampal formation. |
 | | After we learned that declarative memory processes emerge late in development, we asked what would happen to an animal or human being if this powerful memory system were dysfunctional at birth. |
