Parahippocampal cortex
The parahippocampal cortex is located next to the hippocampus and is part of the temporal lobe. It processes spatial-visual memory content and appears to be involved in the consolidation of memory content. It receives inputs from numerous polymodal cortical areas, and its outputs go to the hippocampus, amygdala, and striatum.

Priming
Priming refers to the influence of previous experiences on perception, reactions, or memory content. This often involves presenting a stimulus (e.g., a word, image, or symbol), often unconsciously or below the threshold of perception. Although the person is not consciously aware of this stimulus, it affects the processing of subsequent stimuli: for example, reactions become faster or memory content is retrieved more easily.
