Phase relationship between hippocampal place units and the EEG theta rhythm
Abstract Many complex spike cells in the hippocampus of the freely moving rat have as their primary correlate the animal's location in an environment (place cells). In contrast,...
Hippocampal connections and spatial discrimination
Rats were tested in a new spatial discrimination procedure which measured working memory. Following preoperative testing, lesions were placed to disrupt each of the major extrin...
Double Dissociation of Conditioning and Declarative Knowledge Relative to the Amygdala and Hippocampus in Humans
