41. The distinction between semantic and episodic memory has become a part of the broader scientific discourse. 42. Thus, general semantic knowledge or more personal episodic memories of one s childhood could be affected. 43. This serves as a good example of the relative durability of procedural memory over episodic memory . 44. With episodic memory , individuals are able to recall specific events such as birthday parties and weddings. 45. Episodic memory is believed to be the system that provides the basic support for semantic memory.46. These findings show that acquisition of semantic knowledge is possible even if episodic memory is absent. 47. Episodic memory is believed by many to be the system that supports and underpins semantic memory.48. Imaging studies indicate a prominent role for the posterior cingulate cortex in pain and episodic memory retrieval. 49. Stimulating NGF receptors via NGF infusion has been shown to increase blood flow and verbal episodic memory . 50. This can be attributed to the inability to form episodic memories due to lesions in the hippocampus.
