Abstract

Event memories are stored in hippocampal-cortical networks. In this issue of Neuron, two studies, Cowansage et al. (2014) and Tanaka et al. (2014), tag active cells during memory encoding and optogenetically manipulate the activity of these "engram" cells during subsequent recall to reveal how hippocampal and cortical cell ensembles interact during retrieval.
