Resumen:
One of the challenges for memory researches is the study of the
neurobiology of episodic memory which is defined by the integration of
all the different components of experiences that support the conscious
recollection of events. The features of episodic memory includes a
particular object or person ("what"), the context in which the
experience took place ("where") and the particular time at which the
event occurred ("when"). Although episodic memory has been mainly
studied in humans, there are many studies that demonstrate these
features in non-human animals. Here, we summarize a set of studies that
employ different versions of recognition memory tasks in animals to
study the role of the medial prefrontal cortex in episodic memory.
