Associating temporally discontinuous elements is crucial for the formation of episodic and
working memories that depend on the hippocampal-entorhinal network. However, the neural�…

The cre‐loxP–mediated recombination system (the “cre‐loxP system”) is an integral
experimental tool for mammalian genetics and cell biology. Use of the system has greatly�…

We review evidence for the boundary vector cell model of the environmental determinants of
the firing of hippocampal place cells. Preliminary experimental results are presented�…

Lesion and pharmacological intervention studies have suggested that in both human
patients and animals the hippocampus plays a crucial role in the rapid acquisition and�…

Synaptic plasticity serves as a cellular substrate for information storage in the central
nervous system. The entorhinal cortex (EC) and hippocampus are interconnected brain�…

Abstract Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22: 6n‐3), the major polyunsaturated fatty acid
accumulated in the brain during development, has been implicated in learning and memory�…

It is humbling to think that 30 years have passed since the paper by Collingridge, Kehl and
McLennan showing that one of Jeff Watkins most interesting compounds, R-2-amino-5�…

Background Episodic memories are encoded within hippocampal and neocortical circuits.
Retrieving these memories is assumed to involve reactivation of neural ensembles that were�…

The mechanisms for pattern completion and pattern separation are described in the context
of a theory of hippocampal function in which the hippocampal CA3 system operates as a�…

The hippocampus, a critical brain structure for navigation, context-dependent learning and
episodic memory,,, is composed of anatomically heterogeneous subregions. These regions�…
