Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • The hippocampus is crucial for memory formation, while the oculomotor network governs eye movements.
  • Anatomical connections exist between the hippocampus and oculomotor network.
  • Previous research suggests altered eye movements in amnesia patients, but the direct link in healthy adults remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between visual sampling behavior (eye fixations) and hippocampal activity during memory encoding in neurologically intact adults.
  • To explore how this relationship differs for novel versus repeated visual stimuli.

Main Methods:

  • Simultaneous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and eye-tracking were used.
  • Participants viewed faces during a memory encoding task.
  • The number of gaze fixations was correlated with hippocampal and fusiform face area (FFA) activation.

Main Results:

  • A significant positive correlation was found between the number of gaze fixations and hippocampal activation.
  • This correlation was specific to novel faces, not repeated ones.
  • Increased fixations on novel faces also predicted greater hippocampal repetition suppression.

Conclusions:

  • Visual exploration, quantified by gaze fixations, is directly linked to hippocampal activity during memory encoding.
  • The hippocampus plays a role in binding information gathered through visual exploration, particularly for novel stimuli.
  • These findings support the integration of visual sampling and memory binding processes.
