The notion that changes in synaptic efficacy underlie learning and memory processes is now
widely accepted, although definitive proof of the synaptic plasticity and memory hypothesis …

The hippocampus is essential for learning complex spatial relationships, but little is known
about how hippocampal neural activity changes as animals learn about a novel …

Sleep is critical for proper memory consolidation. The locus coeruleus (LC) releases
norepinephrine throughout the brain except when the LC falls silent throughout rapid eye …

The purpose of this review is to determine whether specific subregions (dentate gyrus [DG],
CA3, and CA1) of the hippocampus provide unique contributions to specific processes …

Enterococci are members of the healthy human intestinal flora, but are also leading causes
of highly antibiotic-resistant, hospital-acquired infection. We examined the genomes of a …

Normal aging is often accompanied by impairments in forming new memories, and studies
of aging rodents have revealed structural and functional changes to the hippocampus that …

Three major pillars of hippocampal function are spatial navigation, Hebbian synaptic
plasticity and spatial selectivity. The hippocampus is also implicated in episodic memory, but …

From a behavioral perspective, the CA3a, b subregion of the hippocampus plays an
important role in the encoding of new spatial information within short-term memory with a …

The oscillatory interference model [Burgess et al.(2007) Hippocampus 17: 801–802] of grid
cell firing is reviewed as an algorithmic level description of path integration and as an …

Recordings of rat hippocampal place cells have provided information about how the
hippocampus retrieves memory sequences. One line of evidence has to do with phase …
