Considerable recent work has shown that the hippocampus is critical for remembering the
order of events in distinct experiences, a defining feature of episodic memory�…

The hippocampus is critical to remembering the flow of events in distinct experiences and, in
doing so, bridges temporal gaps between discontiguous events. Here, we report a robust�…

Recent studies have revealed the existence of hippocampal neurons that fire at successive
moments in temporally structured experiences. Several studies have shown that such�…

A wealth of experimental studies with animals have offered insights about how neural
networks within the hippocampus support the temporal organization of memories. These�…

An indispensable feature of episodic memory is our ability to temporally piece together
different elements of an experience into a coherent memory. Hippocampal time cells�…

A well-accepted model of episodic memory involves the processing of spatial and non-
spatial information by segregated pathways and their association within the hippocampus�…

The hippocampus is famous for mapping locations in spatially organized environments, and
several recent studies have shown that hippocampal networks also map moments in�…

Studies on time cells in the hippocampus have so far focused on area CA1 in animals
performing memory tasks. Some studies have suggested that temporal processing within the�…

Although most observers agree that the hippocampus has a critical role in learning and
memory, there remains considerable debate about the precise functional contribution of the�…
