ABSTRACT
The hippocampus is generally considered to have relatively late involvement in recognition memory, its main electrophysiological signature being between 400 and 800â
ms after stimulus onset. However, most electrophysiological studies have analyzed the hippocampus as a single responsive area, selecting only a single-site signal exhibiting the strongest effect in terms of amplitude. These classical approaches may not capture all the dynamics of this structure, hindering the contribution of other hippocampal sources that are not located in the vicinity of the selected site. We combined intracerebral electroencephalogram recordings from epileptic patients with independent component analysis during a recognition memory task involving the recognition of old and new images. We identified two sources with different responses emerging from the hippocampus a fast one (maximal amplitude at â¼250â
ms) that could not be directly identified from raw recordings and a latter one, peaking at â¼400â
ms. The former component presented different amplitudes between old and new items in 6 out of 10 patients. The latter component had different delays for each condition, with a faster activation (â¼290â
ms after stimulus onset) for recognized items. We hypothesize that both sources represent two steps of hippocampal recognition memory, the faster reflecting the input from other structures and the latter the hippocampal internal processing. Recognized images evoking early activations would facilitate neural computation in the hippocampus, accelerating memory retrieval of complementary information. Overall, our results suggest that the hippocampal activity is composed of several sources with an early activation related to recognition memory.
