This thesis addresses the important role of prefrontal-hippocampal circuits in the generation of false memories. First analyses the influence of prefrontal and hippocampus in the generation of false memories by separately analysing the semantic processing in the prefrontal lobe and the effect of high cognitive load on memory. As well as the impact of the memory extraction process and memory integration on memory in hippocampal function. Finally, the integrated effects of prefrontal-hippocampal circuits on false memories are discussed as a whole. This section includes questions about the interactions between the two, such as prefrontal inhibition of the hippocampus and the mechanisms by which the two are in situations of high cognitive load. The results indicate that the prefrontal-hippocampal circuit has a very critical influence on false memories. Processing on various mechanisms and functional aspects of the interaction between the two affects memory.
