Journal ArticleDOI
The three-dimensional organization of the hippocampal formation: a review of anatomical data.
David G. Amaral,Menno P. Witter +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that it is heuristically most reasonable to consider the hippocampal formation as a three-dimensional cortical region with important information processing taking place in both the transverse and long axes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional organization of the hippocampal longitudinal axis
TL;DR: Together, anatomical studies and electrophysiological recordings in rodents suggest a model in which functional long-axis gradients are superimposed on discrete functional domains, which provides a potential framework to explain and test the multiple functions ascribed to the hippocampus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conjunctive Representation of Position, Direction, and Velocity in Entorhinal Cortex
Francesca Sargolini,Marianne Fyhn,Torkel Hafting,Bruce L. McNaughton,Bruce L. McNaughton,Menno P. Witter,Menno P. Witter,May-Britt Moser,Edvard I. Moser +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) are part of an environment-independent spatial coordinate system, and the conjunction of positional, directional, and translational information in a single MEC cell type may enable grid coordinates to be updated during self-motion-based navigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial Representation in the Entorhinal Cortex
TL;DR: Precise positional modulation was not observed more ventromedially in the entorhinal cortex or upstream in the postrhinal cortex, suggesting that sensory input is transformed into durable allocentric spatial representations internally in the dorsocaudal medial entorHinal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Schemas and memory consolidation
Dorothy Tse,Rosamund F. Langston,Masaki Kakeyama,Ingrid Bethus,Patrick A. Spooner,Emma R. Wood,Menno P. Witter,Richard G. M. Morris +7 more
TL;DR: It is reported that systems consolidation can occur extremely quickly if an associative “schema” into which new information is incorporated has previously been created.
