“…We appreciate Dr. Behrendt's time and energy in drafting a thoughtful response to our 2016 opinion paper, published in this journal. Behrendt published the first draft of a hippocampal model of subjective experience in Ref (and has since published additional papers which extend that model), and we agree with him about many aspects of the probable mechanisms for how the inner movie of being a mind and body in the world comes about in the brain. Behrendt's commentary on our paper highlights some of the differences between our respective models, and that is what we will address here.…”

“…However, in intact brains, the EN representations themselves are partially shaped by the HC newscast as part of top–down predictive priming. As memory defines subjective reality, and subjective reality shapes behavior, we find that the simulation has profound causal power on ongoing behavior.…”

“…Also, whenever the DMN reflects (e.g., ‘how did I do?’) or introspects (e.g., ‘how do I really feel?’) or tries to simulate someone else (e.g., ‘how will he respond to these words?’) or consults its immediate memory (e.g., ‘what was that look on her face?’) or plans its own next best action, it consults the HC output and uses that apparent ‘reality’ to determine its emotional and behavioral response …”

Neurotypical subjective experience is caused by a hippocampal simulation

We propose that the phenomenon known to neurologically intact people as 'Subjective Experience' is best understood as the activation of various sites in both extrinsic and intrinsic networks by a brand new episodic memory engram (i.e., a complex theta wave coding pattern originating from field CA1 of the hippocampus). Like a media news outlet, the hippocampal complex receives reportage from widely distributed structures around the brain and organizes and binds those reports together into a brand new episodic memory (i.e., a virtual-reality, movie-like, unified, contextualized, but vastly simplified summation of what just happened). This memory pattern is then 'broadcast' back to structures across the brain (via bidirectional pathways to and from the entorhinal cortex and perirhinal area) for error correction, to expedite predictive processing, and to inform sites in both extrinsic and intrinsic networks of one unified history. It is the cortical activation by the new episodic memory engram that gives rise to the event of experiencing. Because episodic memory is the only unified and contextualized representation of self-in-the-world in the brain, and because it informs most of the major cortices about 'what just happened,' it is subjectively misinterpreted as the actual interaction of the body/mind with its environment. This misinterpretation offers insight into many of the distinct and mysterious features of neurotypical subjective experience and the pathologies of consciousness.

“…CA3 activity patterns (encoding event memories and manifesting as conscious experience) are mapped onto their (unconscious) spatiotemporal context in CA1, which contains place cells. Output from CA1 and the subiculum to medial prefrontal regions may help to engage a behavior mode appropriate to the identified location or encountered situation, but consciousness would not be involved in this . There is also output from CA1 back to entorhinal, perirhinal, and parahippocampal regions and onward to higher‐order neocortical sensory‐processing cortices, which may indeed provide priming and predictive information.…”
