One literature treats the hippocampus as a purely cognitive structure involved in memory;
another treats it as a regulator of emotion whose dysfunction leads to psychopathology. We …

The mechanistic operation of brain regions is often interpreted by partitioning constituent
neurons into 'cell types'. Historically, such cell types were broadly defined by their …

A growing literature suggests that the hippocampus is critical for the rapid extraction of
regularities from the environment. Although this fits with the known role of the hippocampus …

Abstract Information concerning the roles of different brain regions in recognition memory
processes is reviewed. The review concentrates on findings from spontaneous recognition …

The hippocampus plays a critical role in spatial and episodic memory. Mechanistic models
predict that hippocampal subfields have computational specializations that differentially …

Pattern separation and pattern completion processes are central to how the brain processes
information in an efficient manner. Research into these processes is escalating and deficient …

Functional heterogeneity has been investigated for decades in the hippocampal region of
the mammalian cerebral cortex, and evidence for vaguely defined “dorsal” and “ventral” …

Memories can be recalled at different levels of resolution, from a detailed rendition of
specific events within a single experience to a broad generalization across multiple related …

It has been suggested that the dentate gyrus (DG) and CA3 cooperate to efficiently process
spatial information. The DG has been proposed to be important for fine spatial …

We discuss the question of differentiation along the anterior–posterior longitudinal axis of
the hippocampus. Data from a recent fMRI study are reanalyzed to determine whether …
