## Abstract In humans, the hippocampus is essential for storing episodic memories. These event memories require the rapid storage of novel associations, but little is known about the cellular correlates of such rapid plasticity. We studied patterns of activity and plasticity in the CA1 region of th

## Abstract The hippocampus is thought to be involved in episodic memory in humans. Place cells of the rat hippocampus offer a potentially important model system to understand episodic memory. However, the difficulties in determining whether rats have episodic memory are profound. Progress can be m
## Abstract Memories for certain events tend to linger in rich, vivid detail, and retrieval of these memories includes a sense of reβexperiencing the details of the event. Most events, however, are not retained in any detailed way for more than a few days. According to one theory, the hippocampus p
## Abstract Hippocampal spatial view cells found in primates respond to a region of visual space being looked at, relatively independently of where the monkey is located. Rat place cells have responses which depend on where the rat is located. We investigate the hypothesis that in both types of ani
