Using the Change Manager Model for the Hippocampal System to Predict Connectivity and Neurophysiological Parameters in the Perirhinal Cortex

Figure 3

Internal layer II/III activity of columns across the cortex is transmitted through the perirhinal, parahippocampal, and entorhinal cortices to the hippocampus proper. Columns in these hippocampal system cortical areas develop receptive fields corresponding with groups of cortical columns that tended to expand at similar times in the past. A competition in the hippocampus proper identifies the most appropriate groups of columns for current receptive field expansion. Signals then go back through layers V/VI of the columns in the selected groups, driving column receptive field expansions.
