Abstract
This commentary addresses five issues related to the functional role of place cells and the hippocampus. Issue Conclusion 1. Is the cognitive map located in the hippocampus? Not exclusively 2. Is the hippocampus required for path integration? Not exclusively 3. Is the hippocampus involved in selecting the appropriate reference frame? Not exclusively 4. Are all episodic memories encoded by the hippocampus? No 5. Does the hippocampus use attractor networks? Not exclusively Hippocampus 1999;9:452–457.Keywords
