Concept and location neurons in the human brain provide the 'what' and 'where' in memory formation
S. Mackay, T. P. Reber, et al.
Our brains fuse the 'who/what' and 'where' of experience into lasting memories — this study shows that distinct neurons in the human medial temporal lobe (concept cells in hippocampus, amygdala, entorhinal cortex, and parahippocampal location-selective neurons) increase firing during successful encoding, supporting hippocampal indexing. Research conducted by Sina Mackay, Thomas P. Reber, Marcel Bausch, Jan Boström, Christian E. Elger, and Florian Mormann.
