Abstract
Perceptual memory used in novel vs familiar discrimination is not only vital for the evaluation of environmental variations but also essential for learning, perception, and correcting behavioral policies. On the other hand, value-based memory which allows for discrimination of valuable objects among equally familiar ones also drives behavioral interactions and decision making. Although many studies have been conducted to address the neuronal association regarding each separately, the neural correspondence between perceptual and value-based memory is not scrutinized adequately. To this end, the differential neural activation in two macaque monkeys to unrewarded novel vs familiar fractals (>100...
