FMRI BOLD signals in the left angular gyrus and hippocampus are associated with memory precision.

ABSTRACT: It has been proposed that the neural correlates of successful memory retrieval can be dissociated from the correlates of retrieval precision (fidelity). The specific findings supporting this proposal are, however, inconsistent across different studies. Here, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was employed to examine these neural correlates in the context of a test of memory for spatial location that minimized temporal overlap between mnemonic and visuomotor processing. During the encoding phase, participants studied different object images, each placed at a random location on an invisible circle. At test, studied and new images were presented to the participants. The requirement was to make a covert recognition memory judgment to each image and to attempt to recall its studied lo
