Abstract
The idea of distinct brain systems for the processing of episodic and other forms of memory is welcome. The two brain systems actually proposed howeve r, appear to be stripped of further existing connections and could be integ rated with one another. If integrating them, it seems more logical to propo se one enlarged system of limbic structures whose individual components mak e partly different contributions to the forms of memory under discussion.
