The role of cognitive memory in “becoming” of the complexly organized systems is briefly considered from the viewpoint of the general systems theory; the role of Georgian neurophysiologists in emphasizing cognitive aspects of memory role in animal behavior is underlined. The existence of the “one-trial” nonspatial visual recognition memory in cats, as representatives of carnivores with poorly developed vision, is established; it is shown that analogously to primates and rodents in cats the so called rhinal cortex plays a major role in mediating this type of visual cognitive memory. It is shown that in cats, similarly to primates and rodents, parahippocampal cortex (with possible inclusion in this system of the subicular complex) is responsible for visuospatial memory. This new book examines the aspects of cognitive visual memory in cats.
