  • Title: Severe tactual memory deficits in monkeys after combined removal of the amygdala and hippocampus.
    Author: Murray EA, Mishkin M.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1983 Jul 04; 270(2):340-4. PubMed ID: 6883103.
    Abstract:
    Monkeys with bilateral removals of both the amygdaloid complex and hippocampal formation were far more severely impaired on a tactual memory task than were monkeys with removal of either structure alone. These data parallel earlier findings on visual memory in monkeys and suggest that: (i) the memory deficit following combined ablations of the amygdala and hippocampus is multimodal; and (ii) the global anterograde amnesia observed in patients with medial temporal-lobe damage is also due to combined damage to these two structures.
