Role of the dual entorhinal inputs to hippocampus: a hypothesis based on cue/action (non-self/self) couplets

JE Lisman - Progress in brain research, 2007 - Elsevier
The hippocampus sits at the highest level of memory processing circuits and receives two
major inputs, one coming from the lateral entorhinal cortex and one coming from the medial
entorhinal cortex. This duality must be of fundamental importance, but its functional meaning
remains unclear. A computational model used for robot navigation (Verschure, PF, et
al.(2003). Nature, 425: 620–624) has a dual information structure that may provide insight. In
this model, information is stored as couplets consisting of information about the current …
