Spatial navigation can serve as a model system in cognitive neuroscience, in which specific
neural representations, learning rules, and control strategies can be inferred from the vast�…

A little over 20 years ago,(Teyler and DiScenna, 1986; Behav Neurosci 100: 147–152)
proposed the hippocampal memory index theory. It offered an account of episodic memory�…

The hypothesis that synaptic plasticity is a critical component of the neural mechanisms
underlying learning and memory is now widely accepted. In this article, we begin by�…

The CA3 region of the hippocampus is important for rapid encoding of memory.
Computational theories have proposed specific roles in hippocampal function and memory�…

Summary Apolipoprotein E receptor 2 (Apoer2), a member of the LDL receptor gene family,
and its ligand Reelin control neuronal migration during brain development. Apoer2 is also�…

In the hippocampus, oscillations in the theta and gamma frequency range occur together
and interact in several ways, indicating that they are part of a common functional system. It is�…

The binocular region of mouse visual cortex is strongly dominated by inputs from the
contralateral eye. Here we show in adult mice that depriving the dominant contralateral eye�…

The hippocampal formation is believed to be critical for the encoding, consolidation, and
retrieval of episodic memories. Yet, how these processes are supported by the anatomically�…

The 2004 EJN Lecture was an attempt to lay out further aspects of a developing
neurobiological theory of hippocampal function [Morris, RGM, Moser, EI, Riedel, G., Martin�…

As we age we become increasingly susceptible to memory distortions and inaccuracies.
Over the past decade numerous neuroimaging studies have attempted to illuminate the�…
