Constant Sub-second Cycling between Representations of Possible Futures in the HippocampusImagination, planning, and decision-making require the ability to generate representations of hypothetical experience. Kay et. al. find that neurons in the rat hippocampus can represent alternative hypothetical scenarios both regularly and quickly (every ∼125 ms). Further, the underlying activity has a temporal structure that is equivalent across different representational correlates (location and direction), implying a common process.Imagination, planning, and decision-making require the ability to generate representations of hypothetical experience.
