BACKGROUND Ever since Edward Tolman's proposal that comprehensive cognitive maps
underlie spatial navigation and, more generally, psychological functions, the question of …

We update complementary learning systems (CLS) theory, which holds that intelligent
agents must possess two learning systems, instantiated in mammalians in neocortex and …

Abstract Machine learning techniques are increasingly being used in making relevant
predictions and inferences on individual subjects neuroimaging scan data. Previous studies …

An event memory is a mental construction of a scene recalled as a single occurrence. It
therefore requires the hippocampus and ventral visual stream needed for all scene …

The faces we encounter throughout our lives make different impressions on us: Some are
remembered at first glance, while others are forgotten. Previous work has found that the …

The hippocampus is proposed to be critical in distinguishing between similar experiences by
performing pattern separation computations that create orthogonalized representations for …

A fundamental principle in memory research is that memory is a function of the similarity
between encoding and retrieval operations. Consistent with this principle, many …

Research on the existence of cognitive maps and on the cognitive processes that support
effective navigation has often focused on functioning across individuals. However, there are …

Prevailing theories of hippocampal function argue that memories are rapidly encoded by
non-overlapping memory traces. Concurrently, the hippocampus has been argued to …

In this review, we will discuss the idea that the hippocampus may be involved in both
memory and perception, contrary to theories that posit functional and neuroanatomical …
