The hippocampal formation can encode relative spatial location, without reference to
external cues, by the integration of linear and angular self-motion (path integration) …

The mechanisms involved in plasticity in the nervous system are thought to support
cognition, and some of these processes are affected during normal ageing. Notably …

Both episodic memory and spatial navigation require temporal encoding of the relationships
between events or locations. In a linear maze, ordered spatial distances between sequential …

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 …

Quick and efficient traversal of learned routes is critical to the survival of many animals.
Routes can be defined by both the ordering of navigational epochs, such as continued …

'Grid cells' in the dorsocaudal medial entorhinal cortex (dMEC) are activated when a rat is
located at any of the vertices of a grid of equilateral triangles covering the environment …

Contextual information plays a key role in learning and memory. Learned information
becomes associated with the context such that the context can cue the relevant memories …

Hippocampal firing patterns during behavior are reactivated during rest and subsequent
slow-wave sleep. These reactivations occur during transient local field potential (LFP) …

Although hippocampal interneurons typically do not show discrete regions of elevated firing
in an environment, such as seen in pyramidal cell place fields, they do exhibit significant …

This chapter addresses a central question in the study of the hippocampus: What information
is represented in hippocampal electrical activity? When asking this question, we are …
