Abstract EN
Spatial mapping and navigation are figured prominently in the extant literature that describes hippocampal function.
The medial entorhinal cortex is likewise attracting increasing interest, insofar as evidence accumulates that this area also contributes to spatial information processing.
Here, we discuss recent electrophysiological findings that offer an alternate view of hippocampal and medial entorhinal function.
These findings suggest complementary contributions of the hippocampus and medial entorhinal cortex in support of episodic memory, wherein hippocampal networks encode sequences of events that compose temporally and spatially extended episodes, whereas medial entorhinal networks disambiguate overlapping episodes by binding sequential events into distinct memories.
