TL;DR: It is reported that a rudimentary map of space is already present when 2½-week-old rat pups explore an open environment outside the nest for the first time and provides experimental support for Kant's 200-year-old concept of space as an a priori faculty of the mind.
Journal ArticleDOI
Memory reconsolidation: sensitivity of spatial memory to inhibition of protein synthesis in dorsal hippocampus during encoding and retrieval.
Richard G. M. Morris,Jennifer Inglis,James A. Ainge,Henry J. Olverman,Jane Tulloch,Yadin Dudai,Paul A.T. Kelly +6 more
TL;DR: This study explored the idea that reconsolidation occurs in spatial memory when animals retrieve memory under circumstances in which new memory encoding is likely to occur and compared the impact of anisomycin in two conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lateral entorhinal cortex is critical for novel object-context recognition†
David I. G. Wilson,Rosamund F. Langston,Magdalene I. Schlesiger,Monica Anne Wagner,Sakurako Watanabe,James A. Ainge +5 more
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that rats with lesions of LEC were unable to recognize object‐context associations yet showed normal object recognition and normal context recognition, suggesting that contextual features of the environment are integrated with object identity in LEC and demonstrating that recognition of such object‐ context associations requires the LEC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring the role of context-dependent hippocampal activity in spatial alternation behavior.
TL;DR: It is reported that rats with complete lesions of the hippocampus learn and perform the spatial alternation task as well as controls if there is no delay between trials, suggesting that the observed context‐dependent hippocampal activity does not mediate alternation behavior in this task.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hippocampal CA1 place cells encode intended destination on a maze with multiple choice points.
TL;DR: The results suggest that, at the start of the maze, the hippocampus encodes both current location and the intended destination of the rat, and this encoding is necessary for the flexible response to changes in reinforcement contingencies.
