Disambiguating the similar: the dentate gyrus and pattern separation.
TL;DR: The accumulated evidence from different approaches converges to support a role for the dentate gyrus in pattern separation, however inconsistencies that may require incorporation of neurogenesis and hippocampal microcircuits into the currents models are found.

Sensitivity to “sunk costs” in mice, rats, and humans
Brian M. Sweis,Samantha V. Abram,Brandy Schmidt,Kelsey D. Seeland,Angus W. MacDonald,Mark J. Thomas,A. David Redish +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that mice, rats, and humans show similar sensitivities to sunk costs in their decision-making, and that sensitivity to temporal sunk costs lies in a vulnerability distinct from deliberation processes and that this distinction is present across species.

Dissociation between dorsal and ventral hippocampal theta oscillations during decision-making.
Brandy Schmidt,James R. Hinman,James R. Hinman,Tara K. Jacobson,Tara K. Jacobson,Emily Szkudlarek,Melissa Argraves,Monty A. Escabí,Etan J. Markus +8 more
TL;DR: Most results were consistent across tasks, regardless of hippocampal-dependent learning, and indicate increased integration and cooperation throughout the hippocampus during information processing.

Changes in Task Demands Alter the Pattern of zif268 Expression in the Dentate Gyrus
Elham Satvat,Brandy Schmidt,Melissa Argraves,Diano F. Marrone,Diano F. Marrone,Etan J. Markus +5 more
TL;DR: A differential transcription pattern shows that the retrieval of different behavioral strategies or mnemonic demands recruit distinct ensembles of granule cells, possibly to prevent interference between memories of events occurring within the same physical space to permit the selection of appropriate responses.

Hippocampal theta, gamma, and theta-gamma coupling: effects of aging, environmental change, and cholinergic activation.
Tara K. Jacobson,Matthew D Howe,Brandy Schmidt,James R. Hinman,Monty A. Escabí,Etan J. Markus +5 more
TL;DR: Hippocampal theta and gamma oscillations coordinate the timing of multiple inputs to hippocampal neurons and have been linked to information processing and the dynamics of encoding and retrieval as discussed by the authors.
