There are currently a number of theories of rodent hippocampal function. They fall into two
major groups that differ in the role they impute to space in hippocampal information …

Knowing who we are, and where we are, are two fundamental aspects of our physical and
mental experience. Although the domains of spatial and social cognition are often studied …

Different types of network oscillations occur in different behavioral, cognitive, or vigilance
states. The rodent hippocampus expresses prominent θ oscillations at frequencies between …

Whereas significant insight exists as to how LTP-related changes can contribute to the
formation of long-term memory, little is known about the role of hippocampal LTD-like …

Inhibitory interneurons of the olfactory bulb are subjected to permanent adult neurogenesis.
Their number is modulated by learning, suggesting that they could play a role in plastic …

The perirhinal cortex is located in a pivotal position to influence the flow of information into
and out of the hippocampal formation. In this review, we examine the anatomical …

Experiencing chronic stress significantly increases the risk for depression. Depression is a
complex disorder with varied symptoms across patients. However, feeling of sadness and …

Our work with both sheep and mouse models has revealed many of the neural substrates
and signalling pathways involved in olfactory recognition memory in the main olfactory …

Neurogenesis persists in several regions of the adult mammalian brain. Although the
hippocampus and olfactory bulb are most commonly studied in the context of adult …

In the present chapter, we propose that emotion is an important contextual cue (or marker)
for episodic memory. In past research and theory, temporal and spatial contexts have been …
