THE human hippocampus has been implicated in memory1, in particular episodic2, 3 or
declarative4 memory. In rats, hippocampal lesions cause selective spatial deficits2, 5–7, and …

The hippocampus, a critical brain structure for navigation, context-dependent learning and
episodic memory,,, is composed of anatomically heterogeneous subregions. These regions …

The hippocampus is widely believed to be involved in the storage or consolidation of long-
term memories,,,. Several reports have shown short-term changes in single hippocampal …

Hippocampal neurons provide a population code for location. In young rats, environments
are reliably 'mapped'by groups of neurons that have firing locations ('place fields') that can …

In the brain, hippocampal pyramidal cells use temporal as well as rate coding to signal
spatial aspects of the animal's environment or behaviour. The temporal code takes the form …

The hippocampus in the mammalian brain is required for the encoding of current and the
retention of past experience. Previous studies have shown that the hippocampus contains …

The hippocampus is part of a system of structures in the medial temporal lobe that are
essential for memory,,. One influential view of hippocampal function emphasizes its role in …

Electrophysiological studies have shown that single cells in the hippocampus respond
during spatial learning and exploration1–4, some firing only when animals enter specific …

NEURONS sensitive to both place and direction from distinct regions of the hippocampal
formation1–2, allometric relationships between spatial learning and hippocampal structure3 …

Hippocampal place cells are spatially tuned neurons that serve as elements of a 'cognitive
map'in the mammalian brain. To detect the animal's location, place cells are thought to rely …
