“…Contemporary analysis of hippocampal function has suggested that memory encoding and retrieval require unique computational processes that are independently supported by specific subregions and pathways projecting into this region (O'Reilly and McClelland, 1994;Treves and Rolls, 1994;Moser and Moser, 1998;Kesner et al, 2004;Daumas et al, 2005;Hasselmo, 2005;Rolls and Kesner, 2006). There is strong evidence suggesting the CA1 subregion plays a significant role in intermediate/long-term spatial memory and consolidation, but not short-term acquisition or encoding processes (O'Reilly and McClelland, 1994;Treves and Rolls, 1994;Maren et al, 1997;Bertaina-Anglade et al, 2000;Kesner et al, 2004;Lee and Kesner, 2004a;Remondes and Schuman, 2004;Daumas et al, 2005;Hasselmo, 2005;Sharifzadeh et al, 2006).…”
