How does the brain record individual experiences, and recall them to adaptively guide future behavior? This ‘episodic-like’ memory regime involves the hippocampus, but it has been difficult to identify specific neural signatures with recollection of specific memories, hindering a mechanistic understanding of recall. Studying food caching behaviors may provide a clearer picture. Scatter hoarding species, such as chickadees, cache individual food items, and use hippocampal-dependent memory to later retrieve them. However tools for behavioral and neural measurement in chickadees are underdevelope
