Cortico-Hippocampal Interplay and the Representation of Contexts in the Brain

Más información sobre el libro

The monograph explores the hippocampus's role in processing contextual information, questioning the very definition of "context." It posits that context serves as a framework for identifying specific information but challenges the necessity of distinguishing between "items" and "contexts." This inquiry is particularly relevant to neuroscience, where information is believed to be encoded as connection patterns in the brain. The discussion also draws on philosophical insights, referencing Immanuel Kant's work to highlight the longstanding nature of these questions in understanding information representation.
