Spontaneous recognition tasks are widely used as a laboratory measure of memory in animals but give rise to high levels of behavioural noise leading to a lack of reliability. Previous work has shown that a modification of the procedure to allow conti...

Pathological over-activity of the CA1 subfield of the human anterior hippocampus has been identified as a potential predictive marker for transition from a prodromal state to overt schizophrenia. Psychosis, in turn, is associated with elevated activi...
