title: Sequence learning: what's the hippocampus to do?
abstract: The medial temporal lobe is crucial for some forms of memory, but its role in implicit learning has remained in question. A brain imaging study by Schendan et al., in this issue of Neuron, provides direct evidence of medial temporal lobe activation during implicit learning of motor sequences.
