The molecular and systems biology of memory. (2014, neutral): “…recording of hippocampal activity in freely behaving rats first demonstrated that the most striking feature of hippocampal neurons is their spatially specific firing (O’Keefe and Dostrovsky, 1971; O’Keefe, 1976; O’Keefe and Conway, 1978; Moser et al., 2008; Griffin and Hallock, 2013).”
A connectome of the Drosophila central complex reveals network motifs suitable for flexible navigation and context-dependent action selection (2020, background): “Brains are thought to solve such complex computational challenges by relying not just on direct sensory to motor transformations, but also on abstract internal representations (Moser et al., 2008).”
Excitatory Cerebellar Nucleocortical Circuit Provides Internal Amplification during Associative Conditioning (2016, neutral): “Cortical and subcortical regions are usually connected by closed-loop circuitries, which are thought to determine the precision of final output patterns (Ahissar and Kleinfeld, 2003; Kelly and Strick, 2003; McCormick et al., 2015; Moser et al., 2008; Shepherd, 2013; Strick et al., 2009).”
