#SfN Poster ⬇️
We report rate-independent, location-specific phase locking in human hippocampus, and episode-specific phase coding during memory.
Bring your critique - any feedback welcome! Poster attached.

Come and visit my poster at HSN (Poster B12; Fri Nov 14, 12:45–2:30)!
Neuropixels in human hippocampus (anesthesia). Neurons show strong tracking of the auditory envelope of sound cues. No evidence for sound-evoked spatial reactivation. Come and have a look! Poster attached.

Despite recent criticism from Quiroga to our claim that Concept Neurons emerge from Conjunctive Coding Neurons we claim: “And yet, the hippocampus codes conjunctively!”.
We hope it sparks a smile (and maybe a few debates).

Meeting a friend in a cafe is allocated to more excitable green neurons.
Later seeing the same friend in the park reactivates the cafe memory, increasing the excitability of the initially allocated neurons. A subset of these neurons are also allocated to the park episode. 10/15

Left: When an episodic memory (e.g., meeting a friend at a café) is formed, certain neurons in a heightened excitability state form an engram (larger green circles). 7/15

Left panel: According to the Indexing Theory, index neurons in the hippocampus conjunctively link various elements of an episode (e.g., loungy jazz music, your friend, the waiter). 5/15
