Animals can navigate vast distances and often display behaviours or activities that indicate a
detailed, internal spatial representation of their surrounding environment or a 'cognitive …

While descriptions of the subiculum often emphasize its role as a recipient of hippocampal
inputs, the area also has particular importance as a source of hippocampal projections. The …

Genetic variation in neuregulin and its ErbB4 receptor has been linked to schizophrenia,
although little is known about how they contribute to the disease process. Here, we have …

Damage involving the anterior thalamic and adjacent rostral thalamic nuclei may result in a
severe anterograde amnesia, similar to the amnesia resulting from damage to the …

The hippocampal formation, which comprises the hippocampus proper, dentate gyrus, and
subiculum, is crucial for learning, memory, and spatial navigation. Historically, most studies …

The function of cortical GABAergic interneurons is largely determined by their integration
into specific neural circuits, but the mechanisms controlling the wiring of these cells remain …

Flexible navigation demands knowledge of boundaries, routes and their relationships.
Within a multi-path environment, a subpopulation of subiculum neurons robustly encoded …

Discrete populations of brain cells signal heading direction, rather like a compass. These
'head direction'cells are largely confined to a closely-connected network of sites. We …

Just as hippocampal lesions are principally responsible for “temporal lobe” amnesia, lesions
affecting the anterior thalamic nuclei seem principally responsible for a similar loss of …

Gamma rhythms are essential for memory encoding and retrieval. Despite extensive study of
these rhythms in the entorhinal cortex, dentate gyrus, CA3, and CA1, almost nothing is …
