Hippocampal inactivation during rearing on hind legs impairs spatial memory.

Spatial memory requires an intact hippocampus. Hippocampal function during epochs of locomotion and quiet rest (e.g.

Dorsal hippocampus not always necessary in a radial arm maze delayed win-shift task.

Spatial working memory is important for foraging and navigating the environment. However, its neural underpinnings remain poorly understood. The hippocampus, known for its spatial coding and involvement in spatial memory, is widely understood to be necessary for spatial working memory when retention intervals increase beyond seconds into minutes.
