KEYWORDS: amnesia, memory, hippocampus, fornix, thalamus,
temporal cortex
ABSTRACT: Based on new information from both clinical and
experimental studies in animals (lesion, electrophysiological, and
gene-activation), the anatomy underlying anterograde amnesia is
reformulated. The distinction between temporal lobe and
diencephalic amnesia is of limited value because a common feature
of anterograde amnesia is damage to part of an 'extended
hippocampal system' comprising the hippocampus, the fornix, the
mamillary bodies and the anterior thalamic nuclei. This view, which
can be traced back to Delay and Brion (1969), differs from other
recent models in placing critical importance on the efferents from
the hippocampus via the fornix to the diencephalon. These are
necessary for the encoding and hence the effective subsequent
recall of episodic memory. An additional feature of this
hippocampal/anterior-thalamic axis is the presence of projections
back from the diencephalon to the temporal cortex and hippocampus
that also support episodic memory. In contrast, this hippocampal
system is not required for tests of item recognition that primarily
tax familiarity judgements. Familiarity judgements reflect an
independent process that depends on a distinct system involving the
perirhinal cortex of the temporal lobe and the medial dorsal
nucleus of the thalamus. In the large majority of amnesic cases,
both the hippocampal/anterior-thalamic and the perirhinal/
mediodorsal-thalamic systems are compromised, leading to severe
deficits in both recall and recognition.

ON RECENT DEBATES ABOUT NATURALISM IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF MIND: LESSONS
FROM AN UPDATED CARNAPIAN APPROACH
Much philosophical discussion has ensued lately about naturalistic
approaches in philosophy of mind. Although no clear statement of
naturalism is universally accepted, the guiding question is whether
intentional states and events--those with representational content--can
be explained within the purview of the "natural sciences."
Given a literal reading, this question is meaningful and appropriate
(and an affirmative answer to it is justified). Yet philosophers
continue to press this issue into increasingly bizarre contexts. A sound
methodological proposal and empirically-based prediction gets construed
as a metaphysical principle, and proponents on both sides formulate
their intuition pumps about its conceptual viability. What begins as a
legitimate and (meta-) scientifically interesting issue becomes a
fruitless clash of intuitions, irresolvable by empirical or logical
argument.
This talk will have three parts. In the first part, I will argue for the
interest and importance of a core aspect of debates about naturalism in
recent philosophy of mind. In the second part, I will point out how this
core aspect has been ignored as the debates have developed of late. In
the third part, I will argue that an updated version of Rudolph Carnap's
approaches to the distinction between science and metaphysics can return
philosophy of mind to the core issue of naturalism. The revival of
Carnap's approach is tricky, however. First, one must decide which of
Carnap's approaches to revive: the early approach from "The Elimination
of Metaphysics" (1928); the later approach from "Testability and
Meaning" (1934), or the even later (and less radical) approach from
"Empiricism, Semantics, Ontology" (1948). Regardless of which Carnapian
approach one chooses, one also must strip the basic idea from Carnap's
mistake of using the structure of first-order logic as a general model
for theories and linguistic frameworks. I'll close the talk with some
preliminary ideas on how best to accomplish this final task.

MODELING NEURAL MECHANISMS OF SELECTIVE VISUAL ATTENTION USING
BIOLOGICALLY-PLAUSIBLE COMPUTER SIMULATIONS
Dr. John Bickle and Ms. Marica Bernstein
Focused Research Program in Computational Neuroscience
East Carolina University
Greenville, North Carolina, U.S.A.
Vision provides an excellent sensory modality for computer simulation in
biologically plausible neural network. We know more about the cell
properties and connectivities in the visual system than for any other
sensory modality. Yet deep puzzles remain about how these cell
properties and connectivities combine to produce visual phenomena. One
puzzling phenomena remains selective attention: what are the neural
mechanisms by which the visual systems in mammals focuses in on
particular aspects of the entire range of input, maintains focus on
salient aspects, and regains focus following peripheral distractions?
In this talk we will present two of our computer simulations. Our NISSL
model mimics cell properties and connectivities within and between
lateral geniculate nucleus (of the dorsal thalamus (LGN), cortical
vertical columns of primary visual cortex (V1), and reticular nucleus of
the ventral thalamus (TRN). We adapt cell properties and connectivities
within these structures in an interactive activation and competition
(IAC) neural network. Experiments with the model suggest that this
thalamocortical system is part of a mammalian mechanism for
stimulus-driven selective visual attention.
Our second model (the MOUNTCASTLE model) is a bit more ambitious. Using
the GENESIS program, we are modeling cell properties and connectivities
within the lateral intraparietal area of posterior parietal cortex (area
LIP), frontal eye fields of premotor cortex (FEF), and intermediate
layers of midbrain superior colliculus (ISC). This structure contains
neurons with response properties necessary for implementing vector
subtraction, which enables the saccade generating system to compute a
sequence of saccades from an initial fixation point. Recent
physiological discoveries suggest that FEFs also contain neurons capable
of sending a 'redirect' message to the saccade generating system,
enabling the system to control when visual attention returns to original
fixation point following peripheral distraction. Initial results with
our proto-MOUNTCASTLE model suggests that this system (LIP-FEF-ISC)
might be an important component of the mechanism by which we "choose" to
redirect attention following distraction or continue to explore the
distracting stimulus.
