Value representation in the monkey hippocampus

The hippocampus is thought to form cognitive maps across different domains of experience, including space and time. Recent work by Knudsen and Wallis identifies a map of abstract value space in the monkey hippocampus. We con -sider how these abstract variables might contribute to a comprehen-sive hippocampal representation of ongoing experience.
