Question 1 (4 points) A fundamental correlate of hippocampal neural firing is one’s location within an environment.
(about 400 words) How does the hippocampus seem to represent spatial context and ones location in an environment? Be sure to define what you mean by ‘context’. What is strong experimental evidence from class or assigned readings to support your answer?
Question 2 (3 points; about 400 words)
Episodic memory includes processing more than spatial information, and one does not need to be navigating to establish an episodic memory. Explain how one can transform our understanding of the neural circuitry underlying spatial memory during navigation to an understanding of how you establish episodic memories of the different types of animals that you saw at the zoo this weekend. What evidence backs up your explanation?
Question 3 (3 points; about 400 words)
Over the past few weeks you have learned a lot about what going on in the brain during learning and memory. Detail at least 2 behavioral/cognitive strategies you could use in your everyday life (school, work, social settings) to boost your brains ability to encode, maintain, and retrieve information. Provide an example of a scenario in your own life for each of these 2 behavioral/cognitive strategies. Be sure to include evidence from class or readings which validates the use of these strategies.
