Rats and mice are used for studying neuronal circuits underlying recognition memory due to
their ability to spontaneously remember the occurrence of an object, its place and an …

The aims of the paper are to update Rolls' quantitative computational theory of hippocampal
function and the predictions it makes about the different subregions (dentate gyrus, CA3 and …

The natural preference for novel objects which is displayed by rats has been used as a
behavioural index to test object recognition. In this series of experiments the standard …

The main aim of the paper is to present an up-to-date computational theory of hippocampal
function and the predictions it makes about the different subregions (dentate gyrus, CA3 and …

Provides a hierarchical model of animal spatial cognitive maps. Such maps include both
topological information, which affords loose, yet operational, representations of the …

The data on theta-modulation of neuronal activity in the hippocampus and related structures,
obtained by the author and her colleagues have been reviewed. Analysis of extracellularly …

From a behavioral perspective, the CA3a, b subregion of the hippocampus plays an
important role in the encoding of new spatial information within short-term memory with a …

In the parallel map theory, the hippocampus encodes space with 2 mapping systems. The
bearing map is constructed primarily in the dentate gyrus from directional cues such as …

Hooded rats with bilateral lesions of the anterior part of the hippocampal formation (HIP),
anterior region of the posterior parietal cortex (APC), or posterior region of the posterior …

In this study, the functional properties of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of the rat were
examined in a task for spatial navigation. The dorsomedial (dmPFC) and ventromedial …
