Space and Time: The Hippocampus as a Sequence Generator
György Buzsáki and David Tingley
We propose that the hippocampus performs a general but singular algorithm: producing sequential content-free structure to access and organize sensory experiences distributed across cortical modules. Neural ‘representations’ can be referenced to many frames, and direct comparisons across frames of reference can be used when trying to identify underlying neural computations. Neural dynamics and transformations can be described without resorting to the concepts of space and time. Future research should focus on transformation rules between structures, rather than on tuning. A neuronal observer-centered approach that compares two internal variables may be more fruitful than correlating an external signal with neuronal patterns.

BrainSTEM (Brain STructured Experimental Metadata) is a collaborative electronic lab notebook for FAIR experimental neuroscience. It has a customizable web interface and a standardized yet flexible data model and is designed to capture a range of electrophysiology, imaging, and behavioral data. Granular permissions, including one-click public sharing, promote collaborations and open science. BrainSTEM is designed with ease of adoption and use as a primary consideration and facilitates compliance with NIH and other data-sharing requirements.

BrainSTEM can accelerate your science, promote collaboration, extend the lifetime of your data, and make FAIR data sharing easy. Please see the dedicated documentation website at below link.
