Current interpretations of hippocampal memory function are blind to the fact that viewing
behaviors are pervasive and complicate the relationships among perception, behavior …

Some argue that hippocampus supports declarative memory, our capacity to recall facts and
events, whereas others view the hippocampus as part of a system dedicated to calculating …

There is considerable research on the neurobiological mechanisms within the hippocampal
system that support spatial navigation. In this article I review the literature on navigational …

More than 50 years of research have led to the general agreement that the hippocampus
contributes to memory, but there has been a major schism among theories of hippocampal …

In recent years, the field has reached an impasse between models suggesting that the
hippocampus is fundamentally involved in spatial processing and models suggesting that …

We currently lack a unified and mechanistic account of how the hippocampus supports a
range of disparate cognitive functions that includes episodic memory, imagining the future …

There are currently two major theories about the role of the hippocampus, a distinctive
structure in the back of the temporal lobe. One says that it stores a cognitive map, the other …

The ability to learn and access new memories requires an intact hippocampal formation, a
complex three-dimensional structure that spans the anterior-posterior aspect of the temporal …

Rodent navigation is a unique domain for studying information processing in the brain
because there is a vast literature of experimental results at many levels of description …
