Journal ArticleDOI
Why there are complementary learning systems in the hippocampus and neocortex: insights from the successes and failures of connectionist models of learning and memory.
TL;DR: The account presented here suggests that memories are first stored via synaptic changes in the hippocampal system, that these changes support reinstatement of recent memories in the neocortex, that neocortical synapses change a little on each reinstatement, and that remote memory is based on accumulated neocorticals changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactivation of hippocampal ensemble memories during sleep.
TL;DR: In this paper, large ensembles of hippocampal "place cells" were recorded from three rats during spatial behavioral tasks and in slow-wave sleep preceding and following these behaviors, showing an increased tendency to fire together during subsequent sleep, in comparison to sleep episodes preceding the behavioral tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of the hippocampal ensemble code for space
TL;DR: Parallel recording methods outlined here make possible the study of the dynamics of neuronal interactions during unique behavioral events, which suggests that new spatial information creates conditions in the hippocampal circuitry that are conducive to the synaptic modification presumed to be involved in learning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Path integration and the neural basis of the 'cognitive map'

TL;DR: Theoretical studies suggest that the medial entorhinal cortex might perform some of the essential underlying computations by means of a unique, periodic synaptic matrix that could be self-organized in early development through a simple, symmetry-breaking operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theta phase precession in hippocampal neuronal populations and the compression of temporal sequences.
TL;DR: Large‐scale parallel recordings are made use of to clarify and extend the finding that a cell's spike activity advances to earlier phases of the theta cycle as the rat passes through the cell's place field, and to show Granule cells of the fascia dentata are also modulated by theta.
