All components of the CNS are surrounded by a diffuse extracellular matrix (ECM)
containing chondroitin sulphate proteoglycans (CSPGs), heparan sulphate proteoglycans …

Episodic memory relies on the hippocampus, a heterogeneous brain region with distinct
functions. Spatial representations in the dorsal hippocampus (dHPC) are crucial for …

The consolidation of spatial memory depends on the reactivation ('replay') of hippocampal
place cells that were active during recent behaviour. Such reactivation is observed during …

Social memory consists of two processes: the detection of familiar compared with novel
conspecifics and the detailed recollection of past social episodes. We investigated the …

The ability to recognize information that is incongruous with previous experience is critical
for survival. Novelty signals have therefore evolved in the mammalian brain to enhance …

Although the hippocampus is known to be important for declarative memory, it is less clear
how hippocampal output regulates motivated behaviours, such as social aggression. Here …

Social memory—the ability to recognize and remember familiar conspecifics—is critical for
the survival of an animal in its social group,. The dorsal CA2 (dCA2),–and ventral CA1 …

The hippocampus and its extended network contribute to encoding and recall of episodic
experiences. Drawing from recent anatomical, physiological, and behavioral studies, we …

Social homeostasis is the ability of individuals to detect the quantity and quality of social
contact, compare it to an established set-point in a command center, and adjust the effort …

Inputs from the ventral hippocampus (vHIP) to the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) are
implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, we show that the vHIP-mPFC …
