Integrating different kinds of information is thought to be a key function of the hippocampus. Based on a computational theory, we advance a hypothesis that the hippocampus performs information integration using selective desensitization of CA3 neurons, and construct a model of the hippocampal trisynaptic network on this hypothesis. This model can reproduce the results of a physiological experiment in which rat hippocampal place cells in various environments were recorded, whereas the conventional layered model cannot. This fact, together with some other physiological evidence, supports our hypothesis.
