Summary
  • "There are currently two major theories about the role of the hippocampus, a distinctive structure in the back of the temporal lobe. One says that it stores a cognitive map, the other that it is a key locus for the temporary storage of episodic memories. A. David Redish takes the approach that understanding the role of the hippocampus in space will make it possible to address its role in less easily quantifiable areas such as memory.
  • Basing his investigation on the study of rodent navigation - one of the primary domains for understanding information processing in the brain - he places the hippocampus in its anatomical context as part of a greater functional system."--BOOK JACKET. "The book will be of interest not only to neuroscientists and psychologists, but also to researchers in computer science, robotics, artificial intelligence, and artificial life."--BOOK JACKET.
