Question 10

Form/Function: Dentate Gyrus

Answer 10

Conjunctive encoding of
spatial and non-spatial
information to produce a
more orthogonal, sparse, set
of categorized metric spatial
representations.
* Spatial pattern separation
based primarily on metric
information.
* Encoding of new information
(in conjunction with CA3).
* Novelty detection of spatial
information.

Question 11

Form/Function CA3

Answer 11

Short-term memory
* Emphasis on rapid encoding
of new information
* Emphasis on acquisition/
encoding of new information
associated with multiple
trials
* Arbitrary associations with
an emphasis on a spatial
component
* Object-spatial and temporal-
spatial pattern completion

Question 12

Answer 12

Intermediate memory
* Emphasis on retrieval of
information
* Associations across time
* Temporal pattern separation

in sequence learning (in
conjunction with CA3)
