    Life is Like a Box of Hippocampal Scenes
    A neuroimaging study of human participants watching the 1994 film Forrest Gump and Alfred Hitchcock's 1961 television drama Bang! You're Dead suggests an important role for the hippocampus in segmenting our continuous everyday experience into discrete events for storage in long-term memory.
  • Study methodology. Patients implanted with electrocorticography arrays completed a 3D center-out reaching task. A, Electrode locations were based upon the clinical requirements of each patient and were localized to an atlas brain for display. B, Patients were seated in the semirecumbent position and completed reaching movements from the center to the corners of a 50 cm physical cube based upon cues from LED lights located at each target while hand positions and ECoG signals were simultaneously recorded. Each patient was implanted with electrodes in a single cortical hemisphere and performed the task with the arm contralateral (C) and ipsilateral (D) to the electrode array in separate recording sessions.
