The hippocampus: a manifesto for change
Open accessAbstract
We currently lack a unified and mechanistic account of how the hippocampus supports a range of disparate cognitive functions that includes episodic memory, imagining the future, and spatial navigation. Here, we argue that in order to leverage this long-standing issue, traditional notions regarding the architecture of memory should be eschewed. Instead, we invoke the idea that scenes are central to hippocampal information processing. This view is motivated by mounting evidence that the hippocampus is constantly constructing spatially coherent scenes, automatically anticipating and synthesizing representations of the world beyond the immediate sensorium. By characterizing the precise relationship between scenes and the hippocampus, we believe a theoretically enriched understanding of its fundamental role and its breakdown in pathology can emerge.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
Maguire argues that the hippocampus is not primarily an episodic memory device but instead automatically constructs spatially coherent scenes, a view termed scene construction theory (SCT). This framework is proposed to unify episodic memory, future imagining, spatial navigation, and related functions, with boundary extension and fMRI evidence cited as key support.
Key findings
- SCT posits that scenes are the “primary currency” of the hippocampus: it constructs atemporal, spatially coherent scenes that provide the backdrop for episodic memories, imagined future experiences, spatial navigation, and perhaps mind wandering and dreaming.
- In Mullally, Intraub, and Maguire (2012), seven patients with selective bilateral hippocampal damage and amnesia showed more veridical memory and significantly fewer boundary-extension errors than controls across three independent measures; in the haptic task, patients’ reconstructed scene areas did not differ significantly from studied scenes, whereas controls’ reconstructed scenes were significantly larger.
- In a scene probe task, these patients could recount expected beyond-view details conceptually but produced significantly fewer spatial details than controls and typically reported being unable to visualize the extended scene in their mind’s eye.
- Chadwick, Mullally, and Maguire (in press) found that boundary extension in healthy controls was associated with hippocampus and parahippocampal cortex engagement, with the hippocampus exerting top-down influence on PHC and early visual cortex; patient P01, densely amnesic but with preserved scene construction, engaged remnant right hippocampus during scene construction.
Methods
- Theoretical manifesto/review, not an empirical study; the authors synthesize neuropsychological and neuroimaging findings to propose SCT and compare it with alternative accounts such as relational memory, constructive episodic simulation, and cognitive map/boundary vector cell models.
- Evidence discussed includes prior studies of patients with bilateral hippocampal lesions/amnesia, including seven patients in Mullally et al. (2012) and patient P01, plus fMRI studies in healthy participants and P01.
- Main analysis is conceptual: the paper argues that scene construction, rather than memory or time, is the common hippocampal process underlying disparate functions.
Limitations
- The authors state their proposal is “not bulletproof” and requires a good deal more investigation; the piece is not intended as a forensic comparison of hippocampal theories or an exhaustive literature review.
- The authors state further work is needed to elucidate boundary extension in patients with lesions outside the hippocampus, to uncover exactly how the hippocampus facilitates scene construction, to examine its relationship with pattern separation and pattern completion, and to definitively establish that an inability to construct scenes explains the full constellation of deficits from hippocampal pathology.
- The text makes evident that no new primary data are reported and that some proposals are speculative, such as the suggestion that verbal memory tasks may benefit from scene-based imagery strategies; SCT could be falsified by a patient with impaired scene construction and preserved episodic memory, which has not yet been identified.

“More recent work suggests that the hippocampus constructs spatially coherent scenes that are representative egocentrically (Maguire and Mullally, 2013).”
The role of the hippocampus in flexible cognition and social behavior

“…with points of emphasis of other contemporary investigators, including ideas about the role of the hippocampus in scene (re)construction (e.g., Maguire and Mullally, 2013), and in the generation of simulated future events (Buckner and Carroll, 2007), as well as the functional relationship…”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
