from Part I - Evolution of Learning Processes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2022
The hippocampus of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians is a fundamental brain structure for certain forms of relational memory. We review here the experimental evidence indicating that the hippocampal pallium of teleost fish, like the hippocampus of land vertebrates, is involved in relational map-like spatial memory, endowing fish behavior with the capability for allocentric navigation and allowing the flexible expression of spatial memory. In addition, recent evidence suggests that the teleost fish hippocampal pallium plays an important role in the processing of the temporal dimensions of relational memory. The functional similarities in the hippocampal pallium of taxa that diverged millions of years ago suggest the possibility that some features of the hippocampal networks allowing the processing of the spatial as well the temporal dimensions of relational associative memories appeared early in vertebrate evolution and were conserved through phylogenesis.
