Compressed hippocampal place-cell sequences have been associated with memory storage, retrieval and planning, but it remains unclear how they align with activity in the parahippocampal cortex. In a visuospatial discrimination task, we found a wide repertoire of hippocampal place cell sequences, which recapitulated paths across the task environment. Place cell sequences generated at reward sites predominantly reiterated trajectories near the chosen maze side, whereas trajectories associated with the side chosen in the previous trial were underrepresented. We hypothesized that neurons in the perirhinal cortex, which during the task display broad firing fields correlated with the animals location, might reactivate in concert with hippocampal sequences. However, we found no evidence of significant perirhinal engagement during virtual trajectories, indicating that these hippocampal memory-related operations can occur independently of the perirhinal cortex.

"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.
