Highlights
The hippocampus was traditionally viewed as an area supporting declarative long-term memory (LTM)
I would like to suggest that the results might reflect working memory (WM) maintenance rather than offline encoding supporting the hypothesis that WM maintenance involves hippocampus
This enumeration describes well the process of WM maintenance that has been linked to the hippocampus (Axmacher et al, 2007; Poch et al, 2011), and has been found to trigger a process of replay that is time-locked to the offset of sensory stimuli (Fuentemilla et al, 2010; Poch et al, 2011)
Summary
The hippocampus was traditionally viewed as an area supporting declarative long-term memory (LTM). In an elegant functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments, Ben-Yakov and Dudai (2011) identified brain regions which are activated immediately after the offset of complex stimulus sequences (movie clips) and correlate with subsequent recall performance. In the Experiment 1, the authors report bilateral hippocampus activity starting immediately after stimulus presentation.
