The role of the dorsal and ventral hippocampal subregions and their impact on the medial prefrontal cortex in spatial working memory
Spatial working memory (SWM), or the ability to remember a spatial cue over a brief period of time to guide a subsequent action, is a strategy employed by a wide variety of species to navigate their environment. Conceptually, this cognitive process can be divided in three different phases that consist of encoding a beh...
