AI-generated Abstract

The hippocampus plays a crucial role in spatial navigation and memory, being integral to studies concerning both human memory disorders and synaptic mechanisms of learning. This paper reviews various models of hippocampal function, particularly highlighting the role of place cells and the impact of environmental factors on their firing patterns. Through discussions of existing literature, including the influential models posited by Marr, Kali, and Dayan, the paper also addresses the dynamics of synaptic plasticity in the context of remapping place cell representations.
