The Knierim lab reports in the current issue of Nature Neuroscience. The Knierim lab demonstrates that new spatial firing fields (place fields) in the hippocampus can be created almost instantaneously when a rat pauses to investigate its environment.  This finding may lend physiological support to current ideas about the role of the hippocampus as serving as a memory index that rapidly stores information about attended experience onto the rat’s mental map of its environment. Mon...

A book co-edited by Jim Knierim and Dori Derdikman, "Space, Time and Memory in the Hippocampal Formation" was just released.    This volume brings together a collection of chapters from internationally recognized experts on the role of the hippocampus and related areas in memory function.  Focused primarily on the physiological correlates of the hippocampus in behaving rats, the chapters discuss the nature of information processing in input regions to the hippocampus, s...
