    • The effect of attention and working memory on the estimation of elapsed time 

      Polti, Ignacio; Martin, Benoit; van Wassenhove, Virginie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Psychological models of time perception involve attention and memory: while attention typically regulates the flow of events, memory maintains timed events or intervals. The precise, and possibly distinct, roles of attention ...
    • The Effects of Short-Term Sleep Restriction on Proactive and Reactive Cognitive Control Regions 

      Habli, Sarah (Master thesis, 2020)
      Proaktiv og reaktiv kontroll er to modus av kognitiv kontroll som fungerer på ulike tidsskalaer og aktiverer både overlappende og distinkte hjerneregioner. Ingen tidligere studier har undersøkt hvordan hjerneregioner knyttet ...
    • The Egocentric Hippocampus 

      Carpenter, Jordan (Master thesis, 2021)
      Navigation relies on the integration of incoming sensory information with a stable schema that can be applied to map the current environment. This integration results in a dynamic map of the animal’s position based on ...
    • The Hippocampus Encodes Distances in Multidimensional Feature Space 

      Theves, Stephanie; Fernandez, Guillen; Doeller, Christian Fritz Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The hippocampal formation encodes maps of the physical environment [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. A key question in neuroscience is whether its spatial coding principles also provide a universal metric for the organization of non-spatial ...
    • The long-term stability of new hippocampal place fields requires new protein synthesis. 

      Agnihotri, Naveen; Hawkins, Robert; Kandel, ER; Kentros, Clifford (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004)
      The hippocampus is critical for formation of spatial memories. Hippocampal pyramidal neurons in freely behaving animals exhibit spatially selective firing patterns, which taken together form an internal representation of ...
