Theories of associative memory suggest that successful memory storage and recall depend
on a balance between two complementary processes: pattern separation (to minimize …

Classical theories of associative memory model CA3 as a homogeneous attractor network
because of its strong recurrent circuitry. However, anatomical gradients suggest a functional …

Computational models based on hippocampal connectivity have proposed that CA3 is
uniquely positioned as an autoassociative memory network, capable of performing the …

The mechanisms for pattern completion and pattern separation are described in the context
of a theory of hippocampal function in which the hippocampal CA3 system operates as a …

A quantitative computational theory of the operation of the hippocampal CA3 system as an
autoassociation or attractor network used in episodic memory system is described. In this …

A quantitative computational theory of the operation of the CA3 system as an attractor or
autoassociation network is described. Based on the proposal that CA3–CA3 autoassociative …

Many theories of hippocampal function assume that area CA3 of hippocampus is capable of
performing rapid pattern storage, as well as pattern completion when a partial version of a …

Determining how the hippocampus supports the unique demands of memory encoding and
retrieval is fundamental for understanding the biological basis of episodic memory. One …

Classic computational theories of the mnemonic functions of the hippocampus ascribe the
processes of pattern separation to the dentate gyrus (DG) and pattern completion to the CA3 …

The second half of the past century saw the emergence of a theory of cortical associative
memory function originating in Donald Hebb's hypotheses on activity-dependent synaptic …
