Reactivation of Hippocampal Cell Assemblies: Effects of Behavioral State, Experience, and EEG Dynamics (1999, methodology): “Second, the 1 kHz–sampled EEG traces were used to identify the start and end times of ;200 Hz oscillations (ripples) in the EEG recorded near the pyramidal layer and associated with sharp wave (SPW) activity deeper in the stratum radiatum (Ranck, 1973; O’Keefe and Nadel, 1976; Buzsáki, 1986) (Fig.”
Using imagination to understand the neural basis of episodic memory (2007, background): “Their descriptions were fragmented, lacked a coherent spatial context, and were significantly less rich suggesting that the hippocampus plays a critical role in integrating the disparate elements of a scene into a coherent whole (O’Keefe and Nadel, 1978; Burgess et al., 2001; Eichenbaum, 2004; Mosco”
The hippocampus and inferential reasoning: building memories to navigate future decisions (2012, background): “The influential cognitive map theory (Tolman, 1948; O’Keefe and Nadel, 1978)—which first sparked interest in the inferential function of the hippocampus—implicitly assumes such A B C ABC”
The human hippocampus and spatial and episodic memory. (2002, methodology): “A second possibility is deed, Jon is sufficiently good at using visual matching that during the context-dependent episodic memory that the necessity of supporting spatial behavior, such as returning to a goal from a new direction, has forced questions he often tried to orient himself within the virt”
Spatial memory, recognition memory, and the hippocampus. (2004, background): “Accordingly, there has been interest in the possibility that the hippocampus may be specially important for tasks that depend on relating or combining information from multiple sources, as in certain spatial memory tasks (7).”
A Spin Glass Model of Path Integration in Rat Medial Entorhinal Cortex (2006, background): “In a “locale navigation” system (O’Keefe and Nadel, 1978), path integration helps solve the “simultaneous localization and mapping” problem (Smith et al.”
