The hippocampus is critical to remembering the flow of events in distinct experiences and, in
doing so, bridges temporal gaps between discontiguous events. Here, we report a robust …

Entorhinal grid cells in mammals fire as a function of animal location, with spatially periodic
response patterns. This nonlocal periodic representation of location, a local variable, is …

Previous rodent studies demonstrate movement-related increases in theta oscillations, and
recent evidence suggests that multiple navigationally relevant variables are reflected in this …

The advent of methods for optical imaging of large-scale neural activity at cellular resolution
in behaving animals presents the problem of identifying behavior-encoding cells within the …

Cortical and hippocampal gamma oscillations have been implicated in many behavioral
tasks. The hippocampus is required for spatial navigation where animals run at varying …

The perirhinal and lateral entorhinal cortices send prominent projections to the portion of the
hippocampal CA1 subfield closest to the subiculum, but relatively little is known regarding …

Reinforcement learning (RL) provides an influential characterization of the brain's
mechanisms for learning to make advantageous choices. An important problem, though, is …

Memory influences learning, but how neural signals support such transfer are unknown. To
investigate these mechanisms, we trained rats to perform a standard spatial memory task in …

The “place fields” of hippocampal pyramidal neurons are not static. For example, upon a
contextual change in the environment, place fields may “remap” within typical timescales …

Pyramidal cells in the rodent hippocampus often exhibit clear spatial tuning. Theories of
hippocampal function suggest that these “place cells” implement multiple, independent …
