Our ability to recollect past events is a central to human conscious
life.  An initial understanding of the neurobiology of recollection came
from observations on amnesia and anatomical studies have identified
pathways of the cerebral cortex interacting with the hippocampus that
compose a recollection system.  Taking advantage of the finding that
this system is conserved in mammalian evolution, we have been pursuing
how recollection emerges within this system.  These studies have shown
