Results

  1. A consensus statement on detection of hippocampal sharp wave ripples and differentiation from other fast oscillations

    Publication
  2. Value representation in the monkey hippocampus

    Publication
    The hippocampus is thought to form cognitive maps across different domains of experience, including space and time. Recent work by Knudsen and Wallis identifies a map of abstract …
  3. Improving rigor and reproducibility in nonhuman primate research

    Publication
    Nonhuman primates (NHPs) are a critical component of translational/preclinical biomedical research due to the strong similarities between NHP and human physiology and disease pathology. In some cases …
  4. The grid code for ordered experience

    Publication
    Entorhinal cortical grid cells fire in a periodic pattern that tiles space, which is suggestive of a spatial coordinate system. However, irregularities in the grid pattern as well …
  5. A temporal record of the past with a spectrum of time constants in the monkey entorhinal cortex

    Publication
    Episodic memory is believed to be intimately related to our experience of the passage of time. Indeed, neurons in the hippocampus and other brain regions critical to episodic …
  6. Anatomy and Function of the Primate Entorhinal Cortex

    Publication
    The entorhinal cortex (EC) is a critical element of the hippocampal formation located within the medial temporal lobe (MTL) in primates. The EC has historically received attention for …
  7. From basic brain research to treating human brain disorders.

    Publication
  8. Recognition Memory in Marmoset and Macaque Monkeys: A Comparison of Active Vision.

    Publication
    The core functional organization of the primate brain is remarkably conserved across the order, but behavioral differences evident between species likely reflect derived modifications in the underlying neural …
  9. Entorhinal cortex receptive fields are modulated by spatial attention, even without movement.

    Publication
    Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex allow for the precise decoding of position in space. Along with potentially playing an important role in navigation, grid cells have recently …
  10. Neurons in primate entorhinal cortex represent gaze position in multiple spatial reference frames.

    Publication
    … of the animal relative to space in the world instead of the body. Recently, our laboratory found that entorhinal neurons can signal location of gaze while a …
  11. Differential Contribution of Low- and High-level Image Content to Eye Movements in Monkeys and Humans.

    Publication
    Oculomotor selection exerts a fundamental impact on our experience of the environment. To better understand the underlying principles, researchers typically rely on behavioral data from humans, and electrophysiological …
