The hippocampus, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and episodic and semantic memory

ET Rolls - Progress in Neurobiology, 2022 - Elsevier
The human ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC)/anterior cingulate cortex is implicated in
reward and emotion, but also in memory. It is shown how the human orbitofrontal cortex …

Spatial navigation and memory: A review of the similarities and differences relevant to brain models and age

AD Ekstrom, PF Hill - Neuron, 2023 - cell.com
Spatial navigation and memory are often seen as heavily intertwined at the cognitive and
neural levels of analysis. We review models that hypothesize a central role for the medial …

Space, time, and episodic memory: The hippocampus is all over the cognitive map

AD Ekstrom, C Ranganath - Hippocampus, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
In recent years, the field has reached an impasse between models suggesting that the
hippocampus is fundamentally involved in spatial processing and models suggesting that …

Hippocampal spatial view cells for memory and navigation, and their underlying connectivity in humans

ET Rolls - Hippocampus, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Hippocampal and parahippocampal gyrus spatial view neurons in primates respond to the
spatial location being looked at. The representation is allocentric, in that the responses are …

The versatile wayfinder: prefrontal contributions to spatial navigation

EZ Patai, HJ Spiers - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2021 - cell.com
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) supports decision-making, goal tracking, and planning. Spatial
navigation is a behavior that taxes these cognitive processes, yet the role of the PFC in …

The human posterior parietal cortex: effective connectome, and its relation to function

Spatial representations in the primate hippocampus, and their functions in memory and navigation

ET Rolls, S Wirth - Progress in neurobiology, 2018 - Elsevier
Hippocampal spatial view neurons in primates respond to the place where a monkey is
looking, with some modulation by place. In contrast, hippocampal neurons in rodents …
