Computational Properties of the Hippocampus Increase the Efficiency of Goal-Directed Foraging through Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning by Eric Chalmers, Artur Luczak, Aaron Gruber

“…We investigate this idea by implementing a computational MBRL framework that incorporates features inspired by computational properties of the hippocampus: a hierarchical representation of space, forward sweeps through future spatial trajectories, and context-driven remapping of place cells. We find that a hierarchical abstraction of space greatly reduces the computational load (mental effort) required for adaptation to changing environmental conditions, and allows efficient scaling to large problems. …”

Interpreting the meaning of changes in hippocampal volume associated with vestibular loss by Paul F. Smith, Paul F. Smith

“…The argument presented here rests on 3 tranches of evidence: (1) Cognitive deficits have been observed in humans even in the absence of HPC atrophy; (2) HPC atrophy has not been reported in animal studies following vestibular loss, despite cognitive deficits; and (3) Animal studies have shown that the interruption of the transmission of vestibular information to the HPC has immediate consequences for HPC place cells, far too quickly to be explained by HPC atrophy. …”

A model of head direction and landmark coding in complex environments. by Yijia Yan, Neil Burgess, Andrej Bicanski

“…The relationship between these abstract landmark bearing neurons and head direction cells is reminiscent of the relationship between place cells and grid cells. Their unimodal encoding is formed from visual inputs via a modified version of Oja's Subspace Algorithm. …”

A Neural Network Model of the Entorhinal Cortex and Hippocampus for Event-Order Memory Processing by Hiroki Nakagawa, Katsumi Tateno, Kensuke Takada, Takashi Morie

“…For retrieval, an impetus input internally generates the sequential activation of conjunctive cue–place cells toward the reward location. In the figure-eight maze task, the location of the reward was estimated by mind travel, irrespective of whether the reward is in the counterclockwise or distant clockwise route. …”

Bio-electrosprayed human neural stem cells are viable and maintain their differentiation potential [version 2; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations] by Citlali Helenes González, Suwan N. Jayasinghe, Patrizia Ferretti

“…It holds great potential as a tissue engineering tool as it can be used to place cells into specific patterns. As the human central nervous system (CNS) cannot be studied in vivo at the cellular and molecular level, in vitro CNS models are needed. …”

How reduction of theta rhythm by medial septum inactivation may covary with disruption of entorhinal grid cell responses due to reduced cholinergic transmission by Praveen K. Pilly, Stephen eGrossberg

“…The network theta rhythm has been associated with properties of spatial navigation, as has the firing of entorhinal grid cells and hippocampal place cells. Two recent studies reduced the theta rhythm by inactivating the medial septum (MS) and demonstrated a correlated reduction in the characteristic hexagonal spatial firing patterns of grid cells. …”

The frequency of hippocampal theta rhythm is modulated on a circadian period and is entrained by food availability. by Robert Gordon Keith Munn, Robert Gordon Keith Munn, Susan Margot Tyree, Neil eMcNaughton, David eBilkey

“…While the encoding of the spatial and contextual components of memory have been extensively studied, how the hippocampus encodes temporal information, especially at long time intervals, is less well understood. The activity of place cells in hippocampus has previously been shown to be modulated at a circadian time-scale, entrained by a behavioral stimulus, but not entrained by light. …”

Size Matters: How Scaling Affects the Interaction between Grid and Border Cells by Diogo Santos-Pata, Riccardo Zucca, Sock C. Low, Paul F. M. J. Verschure, Paul F. M. J. Verschure, Paul F. M. J. Verschure

“…Many hippocampal cell types are characterized by a progressive increase in scale along the dorsal-to-ventral axis, such as in the cases of head-direction, grid and place cells. Also located in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), border cells would be expected to benefit from such scale modulations. …”
