Multilevel analysis of memory formation in the entorhinal-hippocampal circuit

Neuronal networks within the medial temporal lobe are essential for fast encoding and storage of episodic memories in humans and other mammals. A key connection in this system is the perforant path (PP) which projects from the entorhinal cortex to the hip pocampus (including the dentate gyrus). S...
