Abstract		Memory, the ability to store information, experiences and knowledge and to use them in future interactions with the environment, is one of core abilities of human cognitive system. It should not surprise us that it presents the focus of a large number of research in cognitive neuroscience reaching back to the very start of the cognitive paradigm. Research into memory presents a wide array of theories, models and empirical findings from all the areas of cognitive neuroscicence. The development of models of memory is an important example of continuous interplay between all the fields of cognitive neuroscience that drove the models from the very coarse intial descriptions to very specific and detailed questions that remain to be answered today. In this paper I would like to focus on a specific type of memory, namely, the semantic memory, with the purpose of demonstrating how it is the interaction of lines of research, as described in the pyramid approach to research in cognitive neuroscience (Repovs, this volumen), that helps advance our understanding of the structure and processes of the human mind.
