Inactivating one hippocampus impairs avoidance of a stable room-defined place during dissociation of arena cues from room cues by rotation of the arena

JM Cimadevilla, M Wesierska… - Proceedings of the …, 2001 - National Acad Sciences
Unilateral intrahippocampal injections of tetrodotoxin were used to temporarily inactivate
one hippocampus during specific phases of training in an active allothetic place avoidance …

Functional inactivation of dorsal hippocampus impairs active place avoidance in rats

JM Cimadevilla, AA Fenton, J Bures - Neuroscience letters, 2000 - Elsevier
This paper assesses the contribution of hippocampus to the spatial orientation of Long–
Evans rats in a new place avoidance task. The animals learn to avoid a mild footshock in a …

Functional inactivation of the rat hippocampus disrupts avoidance of a moving object

P Telensky, J Svoboda, K Blahna… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
The hippocampus is well known for its critical involvement in spatial memory and information
processing. In this study, we examined the effect of bilateral hippocampal inactivation with …

Place navigation in rats with unilateral tetrodotoxin inactivation of the dorsal hippocampus: place but not procedural learning can be lateralized to one hippocampus.

AA Fenton, J Bures - Behavioral neuroscience, 1993 - psycnet.apa.org
Lateralization of the Morris water maze task was examined by injecting 5 ng of tetrodotoxin
(TTX) into 1 dorsal hippocampus (HPC) of chronically cannulated rats (n= 20). The task …

Hippocampal representation in place learning

H Eichenbaum, C Stewart, RG Morris - Journal of Neuroscience, 1990 - Soc Neuroscience
The generality of the place-learning impairment associated with hippocampal system
damage was challenged using methods of training that permitted subjects to form an …

Place cells, head direction cells, and the learning of landmark stability

JJ Knierim, HS Kudrimoti… - Journal of …, 1995 - Soc Neuroscience
Previous studies have shown that hippocampal place fields are controlled by the salient
sensory cues in the environment, in that rotation of the cues causes an equal rotation of the …

The role of the hippocampus in the retrieval of a spatial location

CB Kirwan, PE Gilbert, RP Kesner - Neurobiology of learning and memory, 2005 - Elsevier
Based on computational models of the hippocampus, it has been suggested that a possible
mechanism for memory retrieval is pattern completion, wherein an autoassociative network …

Accumulation of hippocampal place fields at the goal location in an annular watermaze task

SA Hollup, S Molden, JG Donnett… - Journal of …, 2001 - Soc Neuroscience
To explore the plastic representation of information in spatially selective hippocampal
pyramidal neurons, we made multiple single-unit recordings in rats trained to find a hidden …

Beyond memory, navigation, and inhibition: behavioral evidence for hippocampus-dependent cognitive coordination in the rat

M Wesierska, C Dockery, AA Fenton - Journal of Neuroscience, 2005 - Soc Neuroscience
Injecting tetrodotoxin (TTX) into one hippocampus impaired avoidance of a place defined by
distal cues while rats were on a slowly rotating arena. The impairment could be explained by …

Selective hippocampal damage in rhesus monkeys impairs spatial memory in an open‐field test

RR Hampton, BM Hampstead, EA Murray - Hippocampus, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
The hippocampus is critical for remembering locations in a wide variety of species, including
humans. However, recent findings from monkeys following selective hippocampal lesions …
