Data from neuropsychological and animal research suggest that the hippocampus plays a pivotal role in two relatively different areas: active navigation, as well as episodic learning and memory. Recent studies have attempted to bridge these disparate accounts of hippocampal function by emphasizing the role that hippocampal place cells may play in processing the spatial contextual information that defines situations in which learned behaviors occur. A number of established laboratories are currently offering complementary interpretations of place fields, and this book will present the first common platform for them. Bringing together research from behavioral, genetic, physiological, computational, and neural-systems perspectives will provide a thorough understanding of the extent to which studying place-field properties has informed our understanding of the neural mechanisms of hippocampus-dependent memory. Hippocampal Place Fields: Relevance to Learning and Memory will serve as a
valuable reference for everyone interested in hippocampal function.

Table of contents: 

I. Place Cells and Spatial Context

  1. The Hippocampus and Context Revisited: Revisiting the role of the hippocampus in spatial and contextual memory.

  2. A Context for Hippocampal Place Cells during Learning: Exploring how place cells function in the context of learning.

  3. Context-Dependent Firing of Hippocampal Place Cells: Investigating whether the firing patterns of place cells relate to memory formation.

  4. The Place Cells—Cognitive Map or Memory System?: A debate on whether place cells represent a cognitive map or a memory system.

  5. Context-Specific Versus Context-Invariant Spatial Coding: Analyzing how spatial coding in the hippocampus may affect episodic memory.

  6. The Roles of Hippocampal Subfields: Examining the different subfields of the hippocampus and their role in processing spatial contexts.

  7. Plasticity, Attention, and Stabilization of Hippocampal Representations: The effects of plasticity and attention on hippocampal representations.

  8. What Do Place Cells Tell Us about Learning to Associate and Learning to Segregate?: Investigating how place cells contribute to learning associations and segregating different contexts.

  9. Do Place Cells Guide Spatial Behaviors?: The role of place cells in guiding spatial behavior.

  10. Place Cells Identify Hippocampus with Location-Specific Construction of Mental Images: How place cells may help construct mental images linked to specific locations.

  11. Hippocampal Neuronal Activity and Memory: A discussion on the continued relevance of place cells in memory research.

II. Primate Hippocampus and Place Representation

  1. Place-Differential Neural Responses in Monkey Hippocampal Formation: Exploring how place cells respond during navigation in monkeys.

  2. Spatial View Cells in the Primate Hippocampus, and Memory: Discussing spatial view cells and their role in memory.

  3. Learning, Memory, and the Monkey Hippocampus: A focus on learning and memory mechanisms within the monkey hippocampus.

III. Neural Systems Perspective on the Significance of Place Fields

  1. Entorhinal Grid Cells and the Neural Basis of Navigation: The role of grid cells in navigation and spatial memory.

  2. Neocortical Influences on Hippocampal Place Cells: How neocortical regions affect hippocampal place cells.

  3. Spatial Learning and the Selectivity of Hippocampal Place Fields: Modulation of hippocampal place fields by dopamine during spatial learning.

  4. Spatial Decisions and Neuronal Activity in Hippocampal Projection Zones: Investigating spatial decisions and neuronal activity in projection zones.

IV. Theoretical Significance of Place Fields

  2. Network Analysis of the Significance of Hippocampal Subfields: Analyzing the significance of hippocampal subfields through network analysis.

  3. Storage of the Distance between Place Cell Firing Fields: How distance between place cell firing fields is stored in synaptic strength and learning rules.

V. Place Fields and Age-Related Changes in Memory

  1. Hippocampal Place Cells as a Window into Age-Related Memory Impairments: Examining how age affects hippocampal place cells and memory impairments.

  2. Aging Ensembles: Circuit Contributions to Memory Deficits: Discussing how aging affects memory circuits and contributes to memory deficits.
