Abstract
This chapter summarizes and extends arguments made in recent reviews that challenge the notion that hippocampal cells are “place cells”, and suggests instead that hippocampal neuronal activity should be examined with regard to memory processing functions of the hippocampus. It begins by reconsidering the case for a selective role of the hippocampus in spatial processing and the phenomenon of place cells. It then outlines an alternative hypothesis about hippocampal function in memory and offers a reconciliation of the spatial and memory processing views of hippocampal neuronal activity.
