Special Issue on

Role of the Hippocampus in Learning and Memory

Hippocampus is a brain area associated with memory formation and also plays an important role in learning process. On 17 August, Nature Neuroscience published a paper which suggests that changes in the hippocampus could help to explain how children eventually pick up efficient strategies for mathematics, and why some children learn more quickly than others. As one of the most important research fields of brain sciences, hippocampus is of great attractions to researchers.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring role of the hippocampus in learning and memory. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Hippocampus and Sequence Learning
• Hippocampus and Context
• Hippocampus Structures and Memory
• short-term memory
• long-term memory
• spatial learning
• spatial memory

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Role of the Hippocampus in Learning and Memory” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
