MEMORY SYSTEMS

Volume 3, edited by H. Eichenbaum, consists of 29 chapters which represent a ‘‘progress report’’ on what we know about memory systems and their relationship to different parts of the brain. Memory Systems returns to a comparative approach of learning and memory. This volume introduces the concepts of multiple memory systems, and many chapters discuss in extensive detail the different features of declarative memory and their underlying brain structures. Procedural learning in humans and other animals is addressed, and a short section details the involvement of hormones and emotions on memory retention or loss. Finally, changes in memory systems associated with aging, disease processes, and drug use are addressed.
