  "summary": "Creating memories requires linking events across seconds and minutes, but canonical mechanisms of associative plasticity operate over much shorter timescales. This poses a fundamental problem: how can the brain bind information that arrives at different times? Computational model and animal studies implicate the hippocampus in associating events across time, but when the hippocampus becomes…",
