Differences and similarities between human hippocampal low-frequency oscillations during navigation and mental simulation.

ABSTRACT: Low frequency oscillations in the hippocampus emerge during by both spatial navigation and episodic memory function in humans. We have recently shown that in humans, memory-related processing is a stronger driver of low frequency oscillations than navigation. These findings and others support the idea that low-frequency oscillations are more strongly associated with a general memory function than with a specific role in spatial navigation. However, whether the low-frequency oscillations that support episodic memory and those during navigation could still share some similar functional roles remains unclear. In this study, patients undergoing intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) monitoring performed a navigation task in which they navigated and performed internally directed route repla
