The hippocampus dissociates present from past and future goals
A. Montagrin, D. E. Croote, et al.
This groundbreaking study by Alison Montagrin and colleagues uncovers the hippocampus's pivotal role in differentiating goals across varying timeframes. By engaging participants in a space-timed experiment using 7T fMRI, the research reveals how the left anterior hippocampus activates for past and future goals, while current goals light up the left posterior hippocampus, suggesting a remarkable temporal organization of goals in the brain.
