Dentate gyrus circuits for encoding, retrieval and discrimination of episodic memories

T Hainmueller, M Bartos - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2020 - nature.com
The dentate gyrus (DG) has a key role in hippocampal memory formation. Intriguingly, DG
lesions impair many, but not all, hippocampus-dependent mnemonic functions, indicating …

in familiar environments. Although much is known about how the hippocampus encodes …

[HTML][HTML] Visceral signals shape brain dynamics and cognition

D Azzalini, I Rebollo, C Tallon-Baudry - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2019 - cell.com
Most research in cognitive neuroscience explores how external stimuli are processed by the
brain. However, the brain also receives input from the internal body. We discuss here how …

The neural bases for timing of durations

A Tsao, SA Yousefzadeh, WH Meck… - Nature reviews …, 2022 - nature.com
Durations are defined by a beginning and an end, and a major distinction is drawn between
durations that start in the present and end in the future ('prospective timing') and durations …

Object-vector coding in the medial entorhinal cortex

ØA Høydal, ER Skytøen, SO Andersson, MB Moser… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
The hippocampus and the medial entorhinal cortex are part of a brain system that maps self-
location during navigation in the proximal environment,. In this system, correlations between …
