Spatial cell firing during virtual navigation of open arenas by head-restrained mice

open access: yeseLife, 2018
We present a mouse virtual reality (VR) system which restrains head-movements to horizontal rotations, compatible with multi-photon imaging. This system allows expression of the spatial navigation and neuronal firing patterns characteristic of real open ...

Chronic Stress Alters Behavior in the Forced Swim Test and Underlying Neural Activity in Animals Exposed to Alcohol Prenatally: Sex- and Time-Dependent Effects

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
Dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) stress response has been suggested to play a role in vulnerability to stress-related disorders, such as depression.

An automated, geometry-based method for hippocampal shape and thickness analysis [PDF]

open access: yesNeuroimage 276 (2023) 120182, 2023
The hippocampus is one of the most studied neuroanatomical structures due to its involvement in attention, learning, and memory as well as its atrophy in ageing, neurological, and psychiatric diseases. Hippocampal shape changes, however, are complex and cannot be fully characterized by a single summary metric such as hippocampal volume as determined ...

Space and Memory (Far) Beyond the Hippocampus: Many Subcortical Structures Also Support Cognitive Mapping and Mnemonic Processing

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2019
Memory research remains focused on just a few brain structures—in particular, the hippocampal formation (the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex). Three key discoveries promote this continued focus: the striking demonstrations of enduring anterograde ...

Intermediate levels of hippocampal activity appear optimal for associative memory formation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: It is well established that hippocampal activity is positively related to effective associative memory formation. However, in biological systems often optimal levels of activity are contrasted by both sub- and supra-optimal levels.

Fan cells in lateral entorhinal cortex directly influence medial entorhinal cortex through synaptic connections in layer 1

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Standard models for spatial and episodic memory suggest that the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) and medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) send parallel independent inputs to the hippocampus, each carrying different types of information.

Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis: Regulation and Possible Functional and Clinical Correlates

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018
The formation of new neurons in the adult central nervous system (CNS) has been recognized as one of the major findings in neuroanatomical research. The hippocampal formation (HF), one of the main targets of these investigations, holds a neurogenic niche

Querying hippocampal replay with subcortical inputs [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
During sleep, the hippocampus recapitulates neuronal patterns corresponding to behavioral trajectories during previous experiences. This hippocampal replay supports the formation of long-term memories. Yet, whether replay originates within the hippocampal circuitry or is initiated by extrahippocampal inputs is unknown.

Updating the lamellar hypothesis of hippocampal organization

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2012
In 1971, Andersen and colleagues proposed that excitatory activity in the entorhinal cortex propagates topographically to the dentate gyrus, and on through a trisynaptic circuit lying within transverse hippocampal slices or lamellae [Andersen, Bliss, and

Relating transformers to models and neural representations of the hippocampal formation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Many deep neural network architectures loosely based on brain networks have recently been shown to replicate neural firing patterns observed in the brain. One of the most exciting and promising novel architectures, the Transformer neural network, was developed without the brain in mind.
