• The Hippocampus Maps Concept Space, Not Feature Space 

      Theves, Stephanie; Fernández, Guillén; Doeller, Christian Fritz Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The hippocampal formation encodes maps of space and a key question in neuroscience is whether its spatial coding principles also provide a universal metric for the organization of nonspatial, conceptual information. Previous ...
    • Learning and representation of hierarchical concepts in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex 

      Theves, Stephanie; Neville, David A.; Fernández, Guillén; Doeller, Christian F. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      A key aspect of conceptual knowledge is that it can be flexibly applied at different levels of abstraction, implying a hierarchical organization. It is yet unclear how this hierarchical structure is acquired and represented ...
