Different and frequently opposed theories and models of the hippocampal function have been developed. A first type of theories proposed that when some expectatives are not accomplished the hippocampus would inhibit: a) attention, b) activation or c) non-reward responses. A second type of theories supported that the hippocampal function would be the selection of the information to be stored: a) into the trace, b) into the long-term memory. A third type of theories proposed that in the hippocampus it would be stored: a) contextual maps, b) spatial maps, c) temporal maps, d) attentional-associative networks, e) contingencies detectors, f) semantics systems, g) recognition memory, h) work memory. The common element among all theories would be the detection of the differences between a neural model and a new input, as Sokolov proposed in 1960.
人们已经提出了不同且常常相互对立的海马体功能理论和模型。第一类理论认为，当某些预期未达成时，海马体会抑制：a）注意力；b）激活；或c）无奖赏反应。第二类理论支持海马体的功能是选择要存储的信息：a）存储到痕迹中；b）存储到长期记忆中。第三类理论提出，在海马体中会存储：a）情境地图；b）空间地图；c）时间地图；d）注意力 - 联想网络；e）偶然性探测器；f）语义系统；g）识别记忆；h）工作记忆。正如索科洛夫在1960年所提出的，所有理论中的共同要素将是检测神经模型与新输入之间的差异。
