Space and Time: The Hippocampus as a Sequence Generator

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.
