The results revealed a reduction in hippocampal activity during the first few novel stimuli, suggesting that contextual novelty effects are sensitive to habituation.

This study provides a comprehensive discussion of factors that may account for the selective engagement of medial-temporal sub-regions during associative or single-item processing. The results support the division of labour among medial-temporal regions, but suggest that the division is not absolute and not well captured by simple dichotomies such as associative versus non-associative.

A large-scale connectionist model of how acetylcholine levels can control hippocampal mode shifting between storage and retrieval. A novelty signal is generated in the hippocampus and relayed to the basal forebrain. This leads to increased acetylcholine release, which produces network dynamics that favour encoding/learning over retrieval.
