Signal propagation in complex networks drives epidemics, is responsible for information
going viral, promotes trust and facilitates moral behavior in social groups, enables the …

The collective activity of a population of neurons, beyond the properties of individual cells, is
crucial for many brain functions. A fundamental question is how activity correlations between …

Learning and interpreting the structure of the environment is an innate feature of biological
systems, and is integral to guiding flexible behaviors for evolutionary viability. The concept of …

Hippocampal neurons encode physical variables,,,,,–such as space or auditory frequency in
cognitive maps. In addition, functional magnetic resonance imaging studies in humans have …

Hippocampal activity is critical for spatial memory. Within a fixed, familiar environment,
hippocampal codes gradually change over timescales of days to weeks—a phenomenon …

The hippocampus is crucial for spatial navigation and episodic memory formation.
Hippocampal place cells exhibit spatially selective activity within an environment and have …

Humans and animals use mental representations of the spatial structure of the world to
navigate. The classical view is that these representations take the form of Euclidean …

BACKGROUND Ever since Edward Tolman's proposal that comprehensive cognitive maps
underlie spatial navigation and, more generally, psychological functions, the question of …

The encoding of time and its binding to events are crucial for episodic memory, but how
these processes are carried out in hippocampal–entorhinal circuits is unclear. Here we …
