The main aim of the paper is to present an up-to-date computational theory of hippocampal
function and the predictions it makes about the different subregions (dentate gyrus, CA3 and …

Many mammals spontaneously rear on their hind legs in response to novelty. The current
paper is the first review of rearing behaviour, and is intended to collate findings from different …

Although most observers agree that the hippocampus has a critical role in learning and
memory, there remains considerable debate about the precise functional contribution of the …

Sleep fragmentation, a symptom in many clinical disorders, leads to cognitive impairments.
To investigate the mechanisms by which sleep fragmentation results in memory …

The immature brain may be particularly vulnerable to injury during critical periods of
development. To address the biologic basis for this vulnerability, mice were subjected to …

Traditional neuropsychological tests of visual and verbal memory have been used to
evaluate memory deficits in schizophrenia. However, these tests cannot be used in non …

The dentate gyrus (DG) subregion of the hippocampus has been shown to be involved in
encoding but not retrieval in a spatial maze task (modified Hebb-Williams maze). The first …

In non-avian reptiles the medial and dorsal cortices are putative homologues of the
hippocampal formation in mammals and birds. Studies on mammals and birds commonly …

The substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and the dorsal striatum are often considered to be
necessary for stimulus-response (SR) habit learning, whereas the dorsal hippocampus is …

The hippocampus is involved in the detection of novelty and is essential for certain forms of
learning about environmental events and relationships. The cellular and molecular …
