The McKenzie lab studies how memories are made, how patterns of neural activity form and propagate, and how to control the spread of seizure s. What is the hippocampal contribution to memory? Hippocampal representations show a hierarchy of pattern separation. The greatest discrimination is for the overall context in which an event occurs where context defines which rule set delivers reward. The location of the subject is next most important variable driving pattern separation, followed by whether reward is forthcoming, and finally the particular item that may or may not deliver reward. How are
