Journal ArticleDOI

Role of interictal epileptiform abnormalities in cognitive impairment

TL;DR: It is suggested that interictal spikes, particularly if frequent and widespread, can impair cognitive abilities, through interference with waking learning and memory, and memory consolidation during sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coding for spatial goals in the prelimbic/infralimbic area of the rat frontal cortex

TL;DR: It is shown that firing activity of neurons in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) reflects the motivational salience of places, and is suggested that mPFC neurons might be responsible for encoding the rat's goals, a process necessary for path planning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Goal-related activity in hippocampal place cells.

TL;DR: It is proposed that place cells provide both a geometric representation of the current environment and a reflection of the rat's expectancy that it is located correctly at the goal, and may participate in a neural network allowing the rat to plan accurate trajectories in space.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hippocampal interictal epileptiform activity disrupts cognition in humans

TL;DR: Hippocampal IED in humans may disrupt memory maintenance and retrieval, but not encoding, and this study strengthens the argument that IED may contribute to cognitive impairment in epilepsy depending upon when and where they occur.
