Synopsis
There are currently two major theories about the role of the hippocampus, a distinctive structure in the back of the temporal lobe. One says that it stores a cognitive map, the other that it is a key locus for the temporary storage of episodic memories. A. David Redish takes the approach that understanding the role of the hippocampus in space will make it possible to address its role in less easily quantifiable areas such as memory. Basing his investigation on the study of rodent navigation―one of the primary domains for understanding information processing in the brain―he places the hippocampus in its anatomical context as part of a greater functional system.
Redish draws on the extensive experimental and theoretical work of the last 100 years to paint a coherent picture of rodent navigation. His presentation encompasses multiple levels of analysis, from single-unit recording results to behavioral tasks to computational modeling. From this foundation, he proposes a novel understanding of the role of the hippocampus in rodents that can shed light on the role of the hippocampus in primates, explaining data from primate studies and human neurology. The book will be of interest not only to neuroscientists and psychologists, but also to researchers in computer science, robotics, artificial intelligence, and artificial life.

Review
In this comprehensive and thought-provoking book, David Redish does what I thought was impossible- he manages to synthesize the literature from the past 20 years of research on the hippocampal system in a way that is both compelling and constructive. This book will make a real contribution to our unfolding, of the hippocampal enigma.
(Lynn Nadel, Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science, University of Arizona)This is an astonishing piece of work.
