Chapter Abstract: Memory is one of the most studied cognitive abilities. Episodic memory, the capacity to remember personal experiences, has unquestionably increased the survival fitness of mammalian species, including humans. In fact, as animals live in a dynamic environment, the memory for unique experiences, organized in both space and time, has presumably evolved to complement other types of memories that are specialized in extracting generalities from multiple experiences. Here, we seek to review the behavioral approaches used to investigate spatial, temporal, and episodic memory in mammals and to provide insight into the specific brain structures and potential neuronal mechanisms underlying these capacities.
