Hippocampal information processing is often described as two-state, with a place cell state
during movement and a reactivation state during stillness. Relatively little is known about …

The hippocampus is critical for rapid acquisition of many forms of memory, although the
circuit-level mechanisms through which the hippocampus rapidly consolidates novel …

The hippocampus provides a spatial map of the environment. Changes in the environment
alter the firing patterns of hippocampal neurons, but are presumably constrained by …

Flexibility is a hallmark of memories that depend on the hippocampus. For navigating
animals, flexibility is necessitated by environmental changes such as blocked paths and …

For each environment a rodent has explored, its hippocampus contains a map consisting of
a unique subset of neurons, called place cells, that have spatially tuned spiking there, with …

The hippocampus is critical for producing stable representations of familiar spaces. How
these representations arise is poorly understood, largely because changes to hippocampal …

The acquisition of new memories for places and events requires synaptic plasticity in the
hippocampus, and plasticity depends on temporal coordination among neurons. Spatial …

Neurons in the rat hippocampus signal current location by firing in restricted areas called
place fields. During goal-directed tasks in mazes, place fields can also encode past and …

The hippocampus is an essential brain area for learning and memory. However, the network
mechanisms underlying memory storage, consolidation and retrieval remain incompletely …

Neurons in the hippocampus exhibit a striking selectivity for specific combinations of sensory
features, forming representations that are thought to subserve episodic memory. Even …
