Cellular networks underlying human spatial navigation

AD Ekstrom, MJ Kahana, JB Caplan, TA Fields… - Nature, 2003 - nature.com
Place cells of the rodent hippocampus constitute one of the most striking examples of a
correlation between neuronal activity and complex behaviour in mammals 1 , 2 . These cells …

A distributed representation of temporal context

MW Howard, MJ Kahana - Journal of mathematical psychology, 2002 - Elsevier
The principles of recency and contiguity are two cornerstones of the theoretical and empirical
analysis of human memory. Recency has been alternatively explained by mechanisms of …

Theta and gamma oscillations during encoding predict subsequent recall

PB Sederberg, MJ Kahana, MW Howard… - Journal of …, 2003 - Soc Neuroscience
Electrophysiological and hemodynamic measures of human brain activity have been shown
to distinguish between episodes of encoding items that are later recalled versus those that …

Gating of human theta oscillations by a working memory task

S Raghavachari, MJ Kahana, DS Rizzuto… - Journal of …, 2001 - Soc Neuroscience
Electrode grids on the cortical surface of epileptic patients provide a unique opportunity to
observe brain activity with high temporal–spatial resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio …

Gamma oscillations correlate with working memory load in humans

…, A Schulze-Bonhage, MJ Kahana - Cerebral …, 2003 - academic.oup.com
Functional imaging of human cortex implicates a diverse network of brain regions supporting
working memory — the capacity to hold and manipulate information for short periods of time…

Broadband shifts in local field potential power spectra are correlated with single-neuron spiking in humans

…, J Jacobs, I Fried, MJ Kahana - Journal of …, 2009 - Soc Neuroscience
A fundamental question in neuroscience concerns the relation between the spiking of
individual neurons and the aggregate electrical activity of neuronal ensembles as seen in local …

Human theta oscillations exhibit task dependence during virtual maze navigation

MJ Kahana, R Sekuler, JB Caplan, M Kirschen… - Nature, 1999 - nature.com
Theta oscillations (electroencephalographic activity with a frequency of 4–8 Hz) have long
been implicated in spatial navigation in rodents 1 , 2 , 3 ,; however, the role of theta oscillators …

Associative retrieval processes in free recall

MJ Kahana - Memory & cognition, 1996 - Springer
I present a new method for analyzing associative processes in free recall. While previous
research has emphasized the prominence of semantic organization, the present method …

A context maintenance and retrieval model of organizational processes in free recall.

SM Polyn, KA Norman, MJ Kahana - Psychological review, 2009 - psycnet.apa.org
The authors present the context maintenance and retrieval (CMR) model of memory search,
a generalized version of the temporal context model of MW Howard and MJ Kahana (2002a)…

Theta returns

MJ Kahana, D Seelig, JR Madsen - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2001 - Elsevier
Recent physiological studies have implicated theta — a high-amplitude 4–8 Hz oscillation
that is prominent in rat hippocampus during locomotion, orienting and other voluntary …
