This study investigates how hippocampal neurons in mice encode different variables during a task, finding that spiking activity aligns with internal action plans rather than external cues.

The paper shows that hippocampal sharp wave ripples (SPW-Rs) during wakefulness tag experiences for memory consolidation by replaying the most reactivated trials during sleep.

This study shows that basal forebrain cholinergic activation modulates amygdala neuron activity based on reward contingency, affecting conditioned behavior but not unconditioned responses.

This study shows that retrohippocampal neurons use ramping activity to encode spatial memory, with slope changes representing rewarded locations, and this strategy is supported by neural networks.

This study identifies a hippocampal CA1 'chunking code' that represents episodes as discrete event segments and their sequential relationships, distinct from continuous spatial coding.
