Description:
Participants playing the computer game Tetris reported intrusive, stereotypical, visual images of the game at sleep onset. Three amnesic patients with extensive bilateral medial temporal lobe damage produced similar hypnagogic reports despite being unable to recall playing the game, suggesting that such imagery may arise without important contribution from the declarative memory system. In addition, control participants reported images from previously played versions of the game, demonstrating that remote memories can influence the images from recent waking experience.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Stickgold, R -- Malia, A -- Maguire, D -- Roddenberry, D -- O'Connor, M -- MH-13,923/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH-48,832/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- NS26985/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH092638/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Oct 13;290(5490):350-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Neurophysiology, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, 74 Fenwood Road, Boston, MA 02115, USA. rstickgold@hms.harvard.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11030656" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
