Abstract in brief

The medial temporal lobe (MTL) helps us recognize past experiences through two processes: recollection, which involves remembering the context of the experience, and familiarity, which is a sense of having seen something before without specific details.
Different parts of the MTL are specialized for these processes: the hippocampus is mainly involved in recollection, while the perirhinal cortex supports familiarity, with the parahippocampal cortex also playing a role in recalling contextual or spatial information.
Evidence from studies on humans, monkeys, and rats shows that these subregions work together in an organized way to enable us to distinguish between truly remembering something and just feeling that something is familiar.]
