AO_SCPLOWBSTRACTC_SCPLOWCortical processing streams for item and contextual information come together in the entorhinal-hippocampal circuitry. Various evidence suggest that information-specific pathways organize the cortical - entorhinal interaction and the circuitrys inner communication along the transversal axis. Here, we leveraged ultra-high field functional imaging and advance Maass, Berron et al. (2015) who report two functional routes segregating the entorhinal cortex (EC) and subiculum. Our data show specific scene processing in the functionally connected posterior-medial EC and distal subiculum. The regions of another route, that connects the anterior-lateral EC and a newly identified retrosplenial-based anterior-medial EC subregion with the CA1/subiculum border, process object and scene information similarly. Our results support topographical information flow in human entorhinal-hippocampal subregions with organized convergence of cortical processing streams and a unique route for contextual information. They characterize the functional organization of the circuitry and underpin its central role in memory function and pathological decline.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
