Synaptic plasticity, the activity-dependent change in neuronal connection strength, has long
been considered an important component of learning and memory. Computational and …

Recent studies have revealed the existence of hippocampal neurons that fire at successive
moments in temporally structured experiences. Several studies have shown that such …

Learning-related changes in brain activity are thought to underlie adaptive behaviours,. For
instance, the learning of a reward site by rodents requires the development of an over …

A growing literature suggests that the hippocampus is critical for the rapid extraction of
regularities from the environment. Although this fits with the known role of the hippocampus …

The hippocampus is critical for encoding declarative memory, our repository of knowledge of
who, what, where and when. Mnemonic information is processed in the hippocampus …

Feature-selective firing allows networks to produce representations of the external and
internal environments. Despite its importance, the mechanisms generating neuronal feature …

Recent results suggest that social memory requires the dorsal hippocampal CA2 region as
well as a subset of ventral CA1 neurons. However, it is unclear whether dorsal CA2 and …

Maneuvering safely through the environment is central to survival of almost all species. The
ability to do this depends on learning and remembering locations. This capacity is encoded …

The mechanism of memory remains one of the great unsolved problems of biology.
Grappling with the question more than a hundred years ago, the German zoologist Richard …

The formation and recall of episodic memory requires precise information processing by the
entorhinal-hippocampal network. For several decades, the trisynaptic circuit entorhinal …
