Topic: discrete shifts

Our experience of the world is a continuous stream of events, things occurring at a particular time and place. How this flow of experience is parsed and organized impacts our perception and memory of such events, yet the neural mechanisms underlying this process are largely unknown. The lateral entorhinal cortex may play a key role due its convergence of multisensory inputs, its encoding of events and their temporal relationships, and its connections with the hippocampal memory system. Here, we simultaneously recorded hundreds to thousands of neurons from lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC), media
