Replay in Deep Learning: Current Approaches and Missing Biological Elements (2021, neutral): “Since place cells are known to spike when the animal is in a particular location (O’Keefe & Nadel, 1978), it is possible to study neurons that are active during both sleep and recent waking experiences.”
Semi-parametric Topological Memory for Navigation (2018, background): “O’Keefe & Nadel (1978) suggested that internal representations take the form of metric maps.”
Hippocampal Replay is Not a Simple Function of Experience (2010, critical): “Because trajectories around a given loop were equally experienced, but not equally replayed, this demonstrates a dissociation between the two, which is inconsistent with the hypothesis that the content of replay reflects the amount of previous experience.”
Hippocampal replay of extended experience (2009, neutral): “Data from rat 5 were excluded from further analysis because of poor position estimation during RUN (median error 23 cm; uneven coverage of track).”
London taxi drivers and bus drivers: A structural MRI and neuropsychological analysis (2006, background): “While the correlation between time taxi driving and posterior hippocampal gray matter volume is right lateralized, and may indicate a preferential role for this area in representing space (O’Keefe and Nadel, 1978; Smith and Milner, 1981; Burgess et al., 2002), by and large the results are bilateral.”
Considerations arising from a complementary learning systems perspective on hippocampus and neocortex (1996, background): “In the animallirerarure, O' Keefe and Nadel (1978) and many other authors rake the view that the role of the hippocampus proper is restricted ro spatial memory tasks, bur the COMPLEMENTARY LEARNING SYSTEMS 655”
