The entorhinal cortex (EC) is a critical element of the hippocampal formation located within
the medial temporal lobe (MTL) in primates. The EC has historically received attention for …

Much has been learned about the hippocampal/entorhinal system, but an overview of how
its parts work in an integrated way is lacking. One question regards the function of entorhinal …

Nasal airflow is greater in one nostril than in the other because of transient asymmetric nasal
passage obstruction by erectile tissue. The extent of obstruction alternates across nostrils …

Background Bats can offer important insight into the neural computations underlying
complex forms of navigation. Up to now, this had been done with the confound of the human …

Grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex (mEC) fire whenever the animal enters a regular
triangular array of locations that cover its environment. Since their discovery, several models …

The overall objective of this thesis is to elucidate previously unexplored nuances of
hippocampal network communication while providing novel experimental and computational …

The hippocampus is crucial for episodic memory and certain forms of spatial navigation.
Firing activity of hippocampal principal neurons contains environmental information …

The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is crucial for episodic and spatial memory, and shows
rhythmicity in the local field potential and neuronal spiking. Gamma oscillations (> 40Hz) are …
