Taxonomy: Technique Branch / Method. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
The development of novel paradigms, model systems, and new tools in molecular genetics, electrophysiology, optogenetics, in situ microscopy, and functional imaging, have contributed markedly in recent years to our ability to investigate brain mechanisms of retrieval.
Usefulness & Problems
Why this is useful
Functional imaging is presented as one of the new tools that markedly improved the ability to investigate explicit memory retrieval. In the review's framing, it is useful for studying distributed corticohippocampal and neocortical activity patterns.; investigating explicit retrieval in rodent and human brain; studying distributed network activity during retrieval
