It is widely accepted that the hippocampus and related brain areas mediate declarative (or
explicit) memory in humans. However, little is known about the fundamental cognitive …

The current review advances the argument that it is naı̈ve to ascribe a unitary function to
the hippocampal formation (HPC). Rather, it is more productive to consider the hippocampal …

To explore the plastic representation of information in spatially selective hippocampal
pyramidal neurons, we made multiple single-unit recordings in rats trained to find a hidden …

In agreement with theories of sequence learning, hippocampal place representations
expand asymmetrically during repeated route following. This behaviorally induced …

▪ Abstract The startling discovery by O'Keefe & Dostrovsky (Brain Res.; 34: 171–75) that
hippocampal neurons fire selectively in different regions or “place fields” of an environment …

The superficial layers of the entorhinal cortex (EC) provide the majority of the neocortical
input to the hippocampus, and the deep layers of the EC receive the majority of neocortically …

Animals navigate using cues generated by their own movements (self-movement cues or
idiothetic cues), as well as the cues they encounter in their environment (distal cues or …

The ability to navigate accurately is dependent on the integration of visual and movement-
related cues. Navigation based on metrics derived from movement is referred to as path …

In neocortex, neighboring neurons frequently exhibit correlated encoding properties. There
is conflicting evidence whether a similar phenomenon occurs in hippocampus. To assess …

Neural receptive fields are plastic: with experience, neurons in many brain regions change
their spiking responses to relevant stimuli. Analysis of receptive field plasticity from …
