Does human episodic memory 🧠 depend on context-invariant or conjunctive coding of single neurons in the human hippocampus?
A recent TiCS (https://www.cell.com/trends/cognitive-sciences/fulltext/S1364-6613(25)00031-2) paper stimulated a very interesting debate about the nature of hippocampal coding in human episodic memory that i found very insightful.
The discussion centers around context-invariant coding of concept neurons (CN) vs. conjunctive coding of episode-specific neurons (ESN) in the hippocampus, both following different lines of thinking about the HCs involvement in episodic memory.
