Long-term memory formation is a major function of sleep. Based on evidence from
neurophysiological and behavioral studies mainly in humans and rodents, we consider the …

Historically, the thalamus has been viewed as little more than a relay, simply transferring
information to key players of the cast, the cortex and hippocampus, without providing any …

Episodic memory-based decision-making requires top-down medial prefrontal cortex and
hippocampal interactions. This integrated prefrontal-hippocampal memory state is thought to …

Episodic memories are multifaceted and malleable, capable of being transformed with time
and experience at both the neural level and psychological level. At the neural level, episodic …

Rats and mice are used for studying neuronal circuits underlying recognition memory due to
their ability to spontaneously remember the occurrence of an object, its place and an …

The hippocampal formation (HPC) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) have well-
established roles in memory encoding and retrieval. However, the mechanisms underlying …

The hippocampus and the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) both have important roles in cognitive
processes such as learning, memory and decision making. Nevertheless, research on the …

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

The nucleus reuniens of the thalamus (RE) is a key component of an extensive network of
hippocampal and cortical structures and is a fundamental substrate for cognition. A common …

The thalamus was subdivided into three major groups: sensorimotor nuclei (or
principal/relay nuclei), limbic nuclei and nuclei bridging these two domains. Limbic nuclei of …
