Topic: cortical afferents

The neural basis underlying the relationship between a contextual memory and its constituent features is not well understood; in particular, where features are represented in the brain and how they drive memory recall. To gain insight into this question, we developed a behavioral task where mice use features to recall an associated contextual memory. We performed longitudinal imaging in hippocampus as mice performed this task and identified robust representations of global context. To identify putative brain regions that provide feature inputs to the hippocampus, we inhibited cortical afferent
