Medial entorhinal cortex mediates learning of context-dependent interval timing behavior.

Journal article Nature neuroscience · August 2024 Episodic memory requires encoding the temporal structure of experience and relies on brain circuits in the medial temporal lobe, including the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC). Recent studies have identified MEC 'time cells', which fire at specific moments d ... Full text Cite
