Hippocampal-dependent memory is known to emerge late in ontogeny, and its full development is protracted. Yet the changes in hippocampal neuronal function that underlie this delayed and gradual maturation remain relatively unexplored. To address this gap, we recorded ensembles of CA1 neurons while charting the development of hippocampal-dependent spatial working memory (WM) in rat pups (∼2-4 weeks of age).

- Human episodic memory starts to show significant development around 2 years old and continues to mature during childhood, as revealed by various behavioral studies.
- Research on non-human primates and rodents has identified important brain structures and mechanisms related to episodic memory, but collaboration between psychologists and neuroscientists is still limited.
- This article aims to connect findings from human and non-human studies, addressing key challenges and proposing a flexible research framework to enhance cross-species investigations in episodic memory development.
In this issue of Neuron, McKenzie et al. (2021) test the degree to which pre-existing biases in hippocampal circuits constrict the encoding of new information via artificial induction of place cell remapping. Their results suggest that the hippocampal spatial map encodes new information via pre-existing latent place fields.
