Abstract
⺠The cortical sign of the orienting response, the P3a, habituates to novel repetition. ⺠The hippocampus contributes to this scalp-recorded potential. ⺠We studied P3a habituation in patients with unilateral removal of the entire hippocampus. ⺠Normal controls, but not patients, showed reliable P3a habituation. ⺠We conclude that bilaterally intact hippocampi are critical to show P3a habituation.
