The mammalian hippocampal formation contains several distinct populations of neurons
involved in representing self-position and orientation. These neurons, which include place …

There are currently a number of theories of rodent hippocampal function. They fall into two
major groups that differ in the role they impute to space in hippocampal information …

Prospection (Gilbert & Wilson, 2007), the representation of possible futures, is a ubiquitous
feature of the human mind. Much psychological theory and practice, in contrast, has …

Flexibility is a hallmark of memories that depend on the hippocampus. For navigating
animals, flexibility is necessitated by environmental changes such as blocked paths and …

Episodic memory incorporates information about specific events or occasions including
spatial locations and the contextual features of the environment in which the event took …

The hippocampus is thought to enable the encoding and retrieval of ongoing experience,
the organization of that experience into structured representations like contexts, maps, and …

Hippocampus is needed for both spatial working and reference memories. Here, using a
radial eight-arm maze, we examined how the combined demand on these memories …

Neurons of the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) provide spatial representations critical for
navigation. In this network, the periodic firing fields of grid cells act as a metric element for …

The lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) provides one of the two major input pathways to the
hippocampus and has been suggested to process the nonspatial contextual details of …

Here we conducted wireless electrophysiological recording of hippocampal neurons from
Egyptian fruit bats in the presence of human experimenters. In flying bats, many neurons …
