The Papez circuit, first discovered by [[James Papez]] in 1937, is a circuit within the brain consolidates memories into the long-term store. This loop runs from the association cortex to the cingulate gyrus and hippocampal formation onto the amygdala and mammillary bodies, via the fornix; then onto the hypothalamus; from the mammillary bodies to the anterior thalamic nuclei via the mammillo thalamic tract; back to the cingulate gyrus and the prefrontal cortex. It is more commonly associated with declarative memory rather than procedural memory. Damage to the Papez circuit will lead to insufficient consolidation of memories.. Memory related diseases, such as Korsakoff’s syndrome, Kluver-Bucy syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease have all shown to have an effect on the Papez circuit.

The Papez circuits’ role is to consolidate and retrieve long-term memories.

===Consolidation of Long Term Memory===
===Consolidation of Long Term Memory===
[[Long term memory]] is divided into two types of memory: declarative and [[procedural]]. Procedural memory refers to [[unconscious]] memories such as [[priming]], simple forms of [[conditioning]], skills and habits <ref> Alvarez, P., & Squire, L. R., (1994) Memory consolidation and the medial temporal lobe, a simple network model. ''PNAS'' ''91''(15) 7041-7045 </ref> . The mechanisms involved in procedural memory are not thought to be contingent with the Papez circuit. Declarative memory refers to [[conscious]] recall of facts (semantic memories) and events (episodic memory) <ref> Tulving, E., & Markowitsch, H. J., (1998) Episodic and declarative memory: role of the hippocampus ''Hippocampus'' ''8''(3) 198-204 </ref>. <ref> Tulving, E., (2002) Episodic Memory: from mind to brain, ''Annual Review of Psychology'' ''53'' 1-25 </ref>. Studies with amnesic patients who have suffered damaged to the Papez circuit, such as [[Patient HM]] have shown that patients have intact procedural memory, but impaired declarative memory.

The Papez circuit can be imagined as the ‘glue’ that holds memories together. For example, when you first see a face and hear a name at the same time, the Papez circuit will consolidate those two pieces of information (i.e., auditory and visual) together. This is stored in long term memory. Repeated exposure to both stimuli, will lead to a fully consolidated memory. Note that long-term memories are not stored within the structures of the Papez circuit, they are simply retrieved from their original storage through the mechanisms of the Papez circuit (see figure 4). Damage to the Papez circuit will result in insufficient consolidation, therefore not allowing the memory to be transferred to the long term store. Research suggests that fully consolidated memories no longer rely on the Papez circuit. <ref> Nadel, L., & Bohbot, V. (2001) Consolidation of Memory.

===Amnesia===
There are two types of [[amnesia]]: anterograde (See [[anterograde amnesia]] and [[retrograde]]. Anterograde amnesia is where a person is unable to remember on going events after a head trauma. A sufferer of anterograde amnesia will not tend to forget who they are, or anything previous to the incident; however they will have severe difficulty remembering anything new. Retrograde amnesia is where a person is able to remember things after an incident, but will not remember things previous to the event. This retrograde effect has been reported to span over some years before the brain trauma. However older memories are in some cases spared.

Papez Circuit

The Papez circuit, first discovered by James Papez in 1937, is a circuit within the brain consolidates memories into the long-term store. This loop runs from the association cortex to the cingulate gyrus and hippocampal formation onto the amygdala and mammillary bodies, via the fornix; then onto the hypothalamus; from the mammillary bodies to the anterior thalamic nuclei via the mammillo thalamic tract; back to the cingulate gyrus and the prefrontal cortex. It is more commonly associated with declarative memory rather than procedural memory. Damage to the Papez circuit will lead to insufficient consolidation of memories.. Memory related diseases, such as Korsakoff’s syndrome, Kluver-Bucy syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease have all shown to have an effect on the Papez circuit.

Function of the Papez circuit

[edit]

Consolidation of Long Term Memory

[edit]

Long term memory is divided into two types of memory: declarative and procedural. Procedural memory refers to unconscious memories such as priming, simple forms of conditioning, skills and habits [1] . The mechanisms involved in procedural memory are not thought to be contingent with the Papez circuit. Declarative memory refers to conscious recall of facts (semantic memories) and events (episodic memory) [2]. [3]. Studies with amnesic patients who have suffered damaged to the Papez circuit, such as Patient HM have shown that patients have intact procedural memory, but impaired declarative memory. The Papez circuit can be imagined as the ‘glue’ that holds memories together. For example, when you first see a face and hear a name at the same time, the Papez circuit will consolidate those two pieces of information (i.e., auditory and visual) together. This is stored in long term memory. Repeated exposure to both stimuli, will lead to a fully consolidated memory. Note that long-term memories are not stored within the structures of the Papez circuit, they are simply retrieved from their original storage through the mechanisms of the Papez circuit (see figure 4). Damage to the Papez circuit will result in insufficient consolidation, therefore not allowing the memory to be transferred to the long term store. Research suggests that fully consolidated memories no longer rely on the Papez circuit. [4] These conclusions are heavily based on research with amnesic patients [5].

Associated Syndromes

[edit]

Amnesia

[edit]

There are two types of amnesia: anterograde and retrograde. Anterograde amnesia is where a person is unable to remember on going events after a head trauma. A sufferer of anterograde amnesia will not tend to forget who they are, or anything previous to the incident; however they will have severe difficulty remembering anything new. Retrograde amnesia is where a person is able to remember things after an incident, but will not remember things previous to the event. This retrograde effect has been reported to span over some years before the brain trauma. However older memories are in some cases spared. Leading to the theory that consolidation over a long period of time will result in fully consolidated memories that are no longer dependent on the Papez circuit (in particular the hippocampus). [6] [7] Damage to different components of the Papez circuit is thought to lead to different forms of memory impairment (See table 1).

Damaged Area Resulting Effect
Hippocampal Formation Bilateral damage causes anterograde and in some case retrograde amnesia [8]
Fornix Can cause impairments of temporal order memory for retrograde information [9]
Mammillary Bodies Korsakoff’s Syndrome; Anterograde Amnesia [10]
Mamillothalamic tract Markedly impaired declarative memory (both anterograde and retrograde amnesia); linked with Korsakoff’s Syndrome [11]
Anterior Thalamic Nuclei Linked to Korskaoff’s syndrome; spatial memory deficits. [12]
Cingulate Gyrus Schizophrenia; disorientation as a major component of dementia [13]
Amygdala Klüver-Bucy syndrome (visual agnosia) [14]
Hypothalamus Anterograde and to a lesser extent retrograde amnesia; verbal memory impairment (Patient B.J) [15]
Prefrontal Cortex Spatial memory deficit; Working memory deficits [16]
Association Cortex Working memory deficits [17]

H.M.

[edit]

In 1953, Patient H.M. underwent surgery to treat his epilepsy. The surgery consisted of bilateral removal of his medial temporal lobes (including the hippocampal formation and amygdala). As a direct result of this procedure H.M’s seizures decreased significantly, but more prominent was the severe anterograde amnesia that persisted. H.M showed impaired declarative memory functions for both forming new memories (anterograde amnesia) and retrieving old memories (retrograde amnesia). However the retrograde effect appeared to be on a time gradient, very old memories remained intact. Nondeclarative forms of memory appeared to be intact (i.e. priming tasks). From the hundreds of studies that H.M participated in, the general consensus implicates the medial temporal lobe as essential for the formation and temporal storage of memories, until fully consolidated. [18] [19]

Alzheimer’s

[edit]

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. Neuronal degeneration in AD begins in the medial temporal lobe structures, including the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus. Further neuroanotomic spread then incorporates other critical components of the Papez circuit, including the amygdala and anterior cingulate; which leads to the behavioural characteristics of AD. Eventually this spreads to involve the frontal regions, finally leading to death. AD is characterised by many symptoms, the most common being long-term memory loss, trouble with language, and confusion. [20]

Korsakoff’s Syndrome

[edit]

Korsakoff’s syndrome is characterised by deficits in declarative memory, both anterograde and retrograde amnesia and confabulations and has also been linked with temporal order deficits. [21] Korsakoff’s syndrome is caused by damage to the medial thalamus and hypothalamus, in particular the mammillary bodies. [22] The most common cause of Korsakoff’s syndrome is a thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency, through alcoholism or malnutrition. [23]

Klüver-Bucy Syndrome

[edit]

Paul Bucy and Heinrich Klüver demonstrated that disrupting the Papez circuit by damage to the amygdala leads to profound effects on social and emotional behaviour. Klüver-Bucy syndrome is recognised by a combination of visual agnosia, placidity, hyperorality and hypersexuality. Visual agnosia is an inability to recognise objects or faces, and can lead to other memory disorders. [24]
