We review evidence for the boundary vector cell model of the environmental determinants of
the firing of hippocampal place cells. Preliminary experimental results are presented …

Many mammals spontaneously rear on their hind legs in response to novelty. The current
paper is the first review of rearing behaviour, and is intended to collate findings from different …

The theta rhythm appears in the rat hippocampal electroencephalogram during exploration
and shows phase locking to stimulus acquisition. Lesions that block theta rhythm impair …

Memories are thought to be attractor states of neuronal representations, with the
hippocampus a likely substrate for context-dependent episodic memories. However, such …

Electrophysiological recording studies in the dorsocaudal region of medial entorhinal cortex
(dMEC) of the rat reveal cells whose spatial firing fields show a remarkably regular …

Place cells in hippocampal area CA1 may receive positional information from the
intrahippocampal associative network in area CA3 or directly from the entorhinal cortex. To …

The hippocampus, a critical brain structure for navigation, context-dependent learning and
episodic memory,,, is composed of anatomically heterogeneous subregions. These regions …

Hippocampal place cells show spatially localized activity that can be modulated by both
geometric information (eg, the distances and directions of features in the environment) and …

In the parallel map theory, the hippocampus encodes space with 2 mapping systems. The
bearing map is constructed primarily in the dentate gyrus from directional cues such as …

The medial temporal lobe (MTL) has been studied extensively at all levels of analysis, yet its
function remains unclear. Theory regarding the cognitive function of the MTL has centered …
