Howard Eichenbaum: The Hippocampus in Space and Time
ABSTRACT In humans, hippocampal function is generally recognized as supporting episodic memory, which is characterized by the organization of experience over time, whereas in rats, many believe that the hippocampus creates maps of the environment and supports spatial navigation.
