Précis of O'Keefe & Nadel's The hippocampus as a cognitive map
John O'Keefe,Lynn Nadel +1 more
TL;DR: An analysis suggests that object re-identification may require a three-dimensional Euclidean framework within which discourse comprehension and production can be achieved, and identifies this absolute, nonegocentric, spatial framework with a specific neural system centered in the hippocampus.

First evidence of a delay-dependent working memory-enhancing effect of modafinil in mice.
TL;DR: These experiments are the first to demonstrate a delay-dependent working memory-enhancing effect of modafinil.

The effects of mammillary body lesions on delayed matching and delayed non-matching to place tasks in the mice
Daniel Béracochéa,Robert Jaffard +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that mammillary bodies (MM)-lesioned subjects are significantly impaired in the DNMTP tasks at the long (6 h) but not the short (5 min) delays; in contrast, they did not exhibit deficits in the DMTP task, whatever the delay considered.

Loss of recent memory after bilateral hippocampal lesions.
TL;DR: The results of these studies point to the importance of the hippocampal complex for normal memory function in patients who had undergone similar, but less radical, bilateral medial temporallobe resections, and as a warning to others of the risk to memory involved in bilateral surgical lesions of the hippocampusal region.

The hippocampus as a spatial map. Preliminary evidence from unit activity in the freely-moving rat
TL;DR: Preliminary observations on the behaviour of hippocampusal units in the freely moving rat provide support for this theory of hippocampal function.

Optimal foraging, the marginal value theorem.
TL;DR: This paper will develop a model for the use of a “patchy habitat” by an optimal predator and depresses the availability of food to itself so that the amount of food gained for time spent in a patch of type i is hi(T), where the function rises to an asymptote.

Theory of Feeding Strategies
TL;DR: Throughout, emphasis will be placed on strategic aspects of feeding rather than on what Holling (75) has called "tactics," and possible answers to the first problem may be given to the second problem.
