In this Review, we describe the singular success of attractor neural network models in
describing how the brain maintains persistent activity states for working memory, corrects …

Since the first place cell was recorded and the cognitive-map theory was subsequently
formulated, investigation of spatial representation in the hippocampal formation has evolved …

The precise functional role of the hippocampus remains a topic of much debate. The
dominant view is that the dorsal (or posterior) hippocampus is implicated in memory and …

For over a century, the neuron doctrine—which states that the neuron is the structural and
functional unit of the nervous system—has provided a conceptual foundation for …

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 …

Hippocampal place cells take part in sequenced patterns of reactivation after behavioral
experience, known as replay. Since replay was first reported, nearly 20 years ago, many …

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 …

Due to their ability to capture attention, emotional stimuli tend to benefit from enhanced
perceptual processing, which can be helpful when such stimuli are task-relevant but …

Temporal lobe epilepsy causes severe cognitive deficits, but the circuit mechanisms remain
unknown. Interneuron death and reorganization during epileptogenesis may disrupt the …

Theories of associative memory suggest that successful memory storage and recall depend
on a balance between two complementary processes: pattern separation (to minimize …
