The discovery of neuronal systems dedicated to computing spatial information, composed of
functionally distinct cell types such as place and grid cells, combined with an extensive body …

The hippocampal system is critical for storage and retrieval of declarative memories,
including memories for locations and events that take place at those locations. Spatial …

A cognitive map has long been the dominant metaphor for hippocampal function, embracing
the idea that place cells encode a geometric representation of space. However, evidence for …

When exploring new environments animals form spatial memories that are updated with
experience and retrieved upon re-exposure to the same environment. The hippocampus is …

The last decade has seen dramatic technological and conceptual changes in research on
episodic memory and the brain. New technologies, and increased use of more naturalistic …

Before the onset of locomotion, the hippocampus undergoes a transition into an activity-state
specialized for the processing of spatially related input. This brain-state transition is …

To study the interplay between hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex (Pfc) and its
importance for learning and memory consolidation, we measured the coherence in theta …

More than three decades of research have demonstrated a role for hippocampal place cells
in representation of the spatial environment in the brain. New studies have shown that place …

The hippocampal formation can encode relative spatial location, without reference to
external cues, by the integration of linear and angular self-motion (path integration) …

Recent theoretical work has suggested that brain oscillations in the theta band are involved
in active maintenance and recall of working memory representations. To test this theoretical …
