This book is a comprehensive development and defense of one of the guiding assumptions
of evolutionary psychology: that the human mind is composed of a large number of semi …

Grid cells in the rat entorhinal cortex display strikingly regular firing responses to the
animal's position in 2-D space and have been hypothesized to form the neural substrate for …

The authors model the neural mechanisms underlying spatial cognition, integrating
neuronal systems and behavioral data, and address the relationships between long-term …

The contribution of hippocampal circuits to high-capacity episodic memory is often attributed
to the large number of orthogonal activity patterns that may be stored in these networks …

Over the past four decades, research has revealed that cells in the hippocampal formation
provide an exquisitely detailed representation of an animal's current location and heading …

Hippocampal neurons were recorded under conditions in which the recording chamber was
varied but its location remained unchanged versus conditions in which an identical chamber …

Stimulus-specific persistent neural activity is the neural process underlying active (working)
memory. Since its discovery 30 years ago, mnemonic activity has been hypothesized to be …

A quantitative computational theory of the operation of the hippocampus as an episodic
memory system is described. The CA3 system operates as a single attractor or …

Five key topics have been reverberating in hippocampal‐entorhinal cortex (EC) research
over the past five decades: episodic and semantic memory, path integration (“dead …

Memory and the Computational Brain offers a provocative argument that goes to the heart of
neuroscience, proposing that the field can and should benefit from the recent advances of …
