TL;DR: Face processing and facial emotion recognition were investigated in five post-encephalitic people with extensive damage in the region of the amygdala, showing impaired recognition of fear following bilateral temporal lobe damage when this included the amygdala.

TL;DR: Independent evidence from the remember/know procedure also indicates that YR's familiarity is normal, and the Complementary Learning Systems model can accommodate the clear impairment of forced‐choice object–location recognition memory if it incorporates the view that the most complete convergence of spatial and object information, represented in different cortical regions, occurs in the hippocampus.

TL;DR: To determine whether early lesion onset is critical for the relative sparing of item recognition and to determine whether its occurrence is influenced by task factors, this work extensively examined item recognition in patient Y.R., who has pathology of adult‐onset restricted to the hippocampus.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the human hippocampus has a greater involvement in allocentric than egocentric spatial memory, and that this most likely concerns the consolidation ofallocentric information into long-term memory rather than the initial encoding of allocentric spatial information.

TL;DR: YR's familiarity memory for items, intra‐item associations, and associations between items of the same kind was mediated by her intact medial temporal lobe cortices and was preserved, whereas her hippocampally mediated recall/recollection of these kinds of information was impaired.
