Novel spatial representations by hippocampal cellular assemblies develop on the framework of preconfigured hippocampal networks whose homeostatic synaptic reorganization is accelerated by prior experience and CA3 NMDAR-dependent plasticity.

Empirical evidence suggests that the hippocampus constructs maps of spatial environments based on the relative locations of places (i.e., topology), rather than absolute distances and coordinates (i.e., geometry).

A striking dissociation exists in the medial prefrontal cortex, with different brain regions responding to value when commitments are deferred to the future and when prospects are judged to be undesirable.

The anterior and posterior parts of the hippocampus have distinct roles in the retrieval of contextual information in memories of recent experiences.

Pathogen natural history, epidemiological knowledge, human behavior and epidemic progression determine whether symptom screening and questionnaires are effective barriers to geographic spread of infection by travelers.

The default mode network in the brain is activated during the performance of executive-type tasks when a substantial change in cognitive contents is required.

Hippocampome.org is an online resource that provides free human- and machine-readable access to the comprehensive property-based classification of hippocampal neurons from 14,000 pieces of published experimental evidence.

The role of CaMKII-GluA1 in the cortex in maintaining a given taste memory trace for an aversive association has been elucidated.

Sleep plays a critical role in the selectivity of memory by promoting the retention of important memories at the expense of less relevant ones.

Upon retrieval, the angular gyrus recombines distinct, consolidated schema components into one memory representation.
