Hippocampus: cognitive map or working memory?

Lynn Nadel, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1980 - 
- Vol. 29, Iss: 3, pp 405-409
TLDR
Rats were trained on two versions of a maze task designed to simultaneously assess long-term and short-term (working) memory function, and after lesions in the hippocampus, rats rapidly regained criterion in the CUE task but not the PLACE task.

A triple dissociation of memory systems: hippocampus, amygdala, and dorsal striatum

TL;DR: The results of this study are consistent with the hypothesis that the mammalian brain may be capable of acquiring different kinds of information with different, more-or-less independent neural systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two functional components of the hippocampal memory system

TL;DR: It is proposed that neocortical association areas maintain shortterm memories for specific items and events prior to hippocampal processing as well as providing the final repositories of long-term memory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Configural association theory: The role of the hippocampal formation in learning, memory, and amnesia.

TL;DR: How the theory can be applied to explain a wide range of impairments that have been observed when learning and memory tasks have been employed to assess the effect of hippocampal formation damage is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison between the behavioural effects of septal and hippocampal lesions: A review

TL;DR: A 'septo-hippocampal syndrome,' consisting of the effects common to both lesions, is delineated, and divergences between the effects of the two lesions are noted.

The Hippocampus as a Cognitive Map

John O'Keefe, +1 more
TL;DR: The amnesic syndrome is presented as an extension of the theory to humans and the role of operators in the locale system is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hippocampus, space, and memory

TL;DR: It is proposed that the hippocampus is selectively involved in behaviors that require working memory, irrespective of the type of material (spatial or nonspatial) that is to be processed by that memory.

Spatial memory in rats: Resistance to retroactive interference

TL;DR: It is suggested that rats’ memories for spatial locations are immune to retroactive interference, at least within the range of conditions reported, and that the rat can successfully segregate memories foratial locations established in different contexts.

Memory for lists of spatial events in the rat

TL;DR: In this paper, three experiments were reported in which rats were presented with lists of spatial events or responses in distinct visual contexts, and retention subsequently was measured for the events occuring at each serial position.
