Recognition and spatial memory are typically associated with the perirhinal cortex and hippocampal formation, respectively. Solely focusing on these structures for these specific mnemonic functions may, however, be limiting progress in the field. The distinction between these subdivisions of memory is becoming less defined as, for example, hippocampal cells traditionally considered to encode locations also encode place-object associations. There is increasing evidence for the involvement of overlapping networks of brain structures for aspects of both spatial and recognition memory. Future models of spatial and recognition memory will have to extend beyond the hippocampus and perirhinal cortex to incorporate a wider network of cortical and subcortical structures.
识别和空间记忆通常分别与边缘系统和海马体形成相关。然而，仅关注这些结构的特定记忆功能可能会限制该领域的进展。随着例如传统上被认为编码位置的海马细胞也编码位置-物体关联，这些记忆细分之间的区别变得不那么明确。越来越多的证据表明，空间和识别记忆的各个方面都涉及重叠的脑结构网络。未来的空间和识别记忆模型将不得不超越海马体和边缘系统，纳入更广泛的皮质和皮质下结构网络。
