Sommario/riassunto

Episodic memory proves essential for daily function, allowing us to remember where we parked the car, what time we walked the dog, or what a friend said earlier. In this book, Hasselmo presents a new model describing the brain mechanisms for encoding and remembering an episode as a spatiotemporal trajectory.
