Abstract ‘What do hippocampal cell fields represent?’ argues against the conventional idea of ‘place’ fields. Clear eyeblink, time, displace, and other ‘fields’ argue place per se; as failures most obvious to map space either externally or in brain; with ‘remapping’ being inconsistent any truly spatial metric. As visual firing is not a good guide information coded. Hippocampal easily understood receipt efference copies from distributed assemblies that code available goals; dorsal ventral cells largely echoing cortical trends ‘where’ ‘what’ goal, respectively. Head direction cells, path integration, topographic mapping hippocampus are also discussed.

Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the need for a neuropsychology anxiety, distinction between anxiety and fear, definition ‘anxiety’ via actions selective anxiolytic drugs, septo-hippocampal system (SHS) as central to control goal inhibition that underlies adaptive pathological anxiety. A key hippocampal operation is motivated suppression goals can, in excess, deliver disorder and, when weak, catastrophic hypermnesia. Attraction, repulsion, conflict are controlled by interlinked hierarchical systems, sensitivity which personality traits that, extreme, result psychiatric disorder. The these systems solution current problems with diagnosis, reinforcement theory (RST) personality, understanding treatment sensitivity, resistance, comorbidity disorders.

Published: May 7, 2024

Abstract ‘The neurology of anxiety—planning circuits’ extends the anxiolytic-derived neuropsychology survival circuits (including hippocampus and anterior cingulate cortex) to goal planning prefrontal cortex. It first discusses results from issues with early work using lesions as treatments neurotic disorders considers evolution frontal cortex in context defence hierarchy emphasizing fact that ‘deeper’ areas are phylogenetically more ancient. then details anatomy cortex, importance active memory dorsal ventral trend perception-action cycles, control conflict. also describes a ‘mesial’ linked internal insula source monitoring arousal/attention outputs Goal Inhibition System (GIS). The final sections integrate these data into new, extended, 2D theory systems.

Published: May 7, 2024

Abstract ‘A theory of the septo-hippocampal system’ adds a series assumptions to range data principles we derived from our overview system (SHS) data. It outlines problems with existing ‘single process’ perspectives: consolidation, voluntary movement, habituation, spatial mapping. also argues against multiple functions as being ad hoc. then key basic operations SHS goal-conflict detector and consequent processes familiarity recognition, trouble shooting, ‘just checking’, fault tagging. explains how these complex results are produced iteratively by simple mechanisms discusses internal processing, gating required. The circuits gates applied four scenarios: novelty, just checking, conflict, disengagement. emphasizes that way subject solves may not be intended experimenter needs determined. Finally, it rhythmical slow activity/theta rhythmicity acts synchronize iterative processing across target structures.
