Distinct contributions of the hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex to the “what–where–when” components of episodic-like memory in mice
Open accessAbstract
There is a current controversy regarding whether non-human animals have a capacity for episodic memory, defined by the ability to remember what happened and where and when it occurred. It is also unclear which brain structures support the "what," "where," and "when" aspects of episodic memory. Here we addressed these issues by testing episodic memory in mice, using an object recognition task that has previously been employed to assess the "what," "where," and "when" components of recognition memory. Whereas intact mice remembered which objects they had explored, as well as when and where they were experienced, mice with damage to the hippocampus were impaired on all three components of the task. In contrast, animals with medial prefrontal cortical lesions were selectively impaired on the "where" component of the task, but had intact memory for "what" and "when." These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the hippocampus integrates the "what," "where," and "when" features of unique experiences, whereas the prefrontal cortex makes a more selective contribution to retrieving source information about where events occurred.

“These observations are supported by research using established episodic-like memory paradigms, showing that rodents with hippocampal lesions fail in both what–where–when tasks [70,72] as well as incidental encoding tasks [82].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
