Human anterolateral entorhinal cortex volumes are associated with cognitive decline in aging prior to clinical diagnosis

…, A Noly-Gandon, MC D'Angelo, A Kacollja… - Neurobiology of …, 2017 - Elsevier
We investigated whether older adults without subjective memory complaints, but who present
with cognitive decline in the laboratory, demonstrate atrophy in medial temporal lobe (MTL…

Anterolateral entorhinal cortex volume predicted by altered intra-item configural processing

…, HEP Bild-Enkin, MC D'Angelo, A Kacollja… - Journal of …, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
Recent functional imaging studies have proposed that the human entorhinal cortex (ERC) is
subdivided into functionally distinct anterolateral (alERC) and posteromedial (pmERC) …

Object-in-place memory predicted by anterolateral entorhinal cortex and parahippocampal cortex volume in older adults

…, V Mihajlovic, MC D'Angelo, A Kacollja… - Journal of Cognitive …, 2019 - direct.mit.edu
The lateral portion of the entorhinal cortex is one of the first brain regions affected by tau
pathology, an important biomarker for Alzheimer disease. Improving our understanding of this …

The effectiveness of unitization in mitigating age-related relational learning impairments depends on existing cognitive status

MC D'Angelo, VM Smith, A Kacollja… - Aging …, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Binding relations among items in the transverse patterning (TP) task is dependent on the
integrity of the hippocampus and its extended network. Older adults have impaired TP learning, …

[HTML][HTML] Unitization supports lasting performance and generalization on a relational memory task: Evidence from a previously undocumented developmental amnesic …

MC D'Angelo, A Kacollja, JS Rabin, RS Rosenbaum… - Neuropsychologia, 2015 - Elsevier
Recently, the amnesic case DA was shown to circumvent his relational memory impairments,
as observed in the transverse patterning (TP) task, using a self-generated unitization …

Modeling the influence of the hippocampal memory system on the oculomotor system

JD Ryan, K Shen, A Kacollja, H Tian, J Griffiths… - Network …, 2020 - direct.mit.edu
Visual exploration is related to activity in the hippocampus (HC) and/or extended medial
temporal lobe system (MTL), is influenced by stored memories, and is altered in amnesic cases. …

[HTML][HTML] Breaking down unitization: Is the whole greater than the sum of its parts?

MC D'Angelo, A Noly-Gandon, A Kacollja… - Memory & …, 2017 - Springer
Memory impairments are often observed in aging. Specifically, older adults have difficulty
binding together disparate elements (relational memory). We have recently shown that a …

Existing semantic knowledge provides a schematic scaffold for inference in early cognitive decline, but not in amnestic MCI

JD Ryan, A Kacollja, MC D'Angelo… - Cognitive …, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
Healthy older adults show impaired relational learning, but improved transitive expression
when inferences are made across pre-experimentally known premise relations. Here, we …

The functional reach of the hippocampal memory system to the oculomotor system

JD Ryan, K Shen, A Kacollja, H Tian, J Griffiths… - BioRxiv, 2018 - biorxiv.org
Visual exploration is related to activity in the hippocampus (HC) and/or extended medial
temporal lobe system (MTL), is influenced by stored memories, and is altered in amnesic cases. …

Gradual learning and inflexible strategy use in amnesia: evidence from case HC

JD Ryan, MC D'Angelo, A Kacollja, S Gardner… - Neuropsychologia, 2020 - Elsevier
The value of case studies in informing our understanding of dissociations and interactions
in memory was recognized early on by Endel Tulving, whose comprehensive work with the …
