The notion that non-human animals are capable of episodic memory is highly controversial. Here, we review recent behavioral work from our laboratory showing that the fundamental features of episodic memory can be observed in rats and that, as in humans, this capacity relies on the hippocampus. We also discuss electrophysiological evidence, from our laboratory and that of others, pointing to associative and sequential coding in hippocampal cells as potential neural mechanisms underlying episodic memory.
非人类动物具有情景记忆能力这一观点极具争议性。在此,我们回顾了我们实验室近期的行为学研究工作,这些研究表明,在大鼠身上可以观察到情景记忆的基本特征,并且与人类一样,这种能力依赖于海马体。我们还讨论了来自我们实验室及其他实验室的电生理证据,这些证据表明海马体细胞中的联想和序列编码是情景记忆潜在的神经机制。
