Prefrontal & hippocampal systems for memory

We are interested in how prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus support navigation and memory. In past theorical reviews we have proposed different mechanisms for how the hippocampus and PFC might interact for memory (Simons and Spiers 2003) and navigation (Spiers and Gilbert 2015 Frontiers in human neuroscience). We have recently begun to explore the PFC role in navigation in real space networks (Javadi et al., 2017 Nat Comms) and an artificial subway network (Balgaeur et al., 2016 Neuron).
