Alternative model: position effects in the hippocampus and cingulate cortex. Contrast of activity during presentation of the seventh and first item in anatomically selected regions of interests in bilateral hippocampus (left and middle column) and anterior cingulate cortex (right column). For subsequently forgotten items presented at the first list position, there was a negative BOLD response in the left hippocampus, which was absent at the seventh list position (A, left column). No negative BOLD responses occurred in the right hippocampus (A, middle column) and for subsequently remembered items (B, left and middle column). On the whole-brain level, there was an increased activation in the anterior cingulate cortex at the seventh as compared with the first list position regardless of subsequent memory (right column).
