Neuronal selectivity and geometric alignment in the human hippocampus support abstract generalization

2026-08-28

Abstract excerpt

Abstract representations allow the brain to extract shared structure across different experiences and generalize knowledge beyond individual situations. Although previous studies have shown that representational geometry plays a critical role in supporting abstraction, it remains unclear how the composition of neuronal populations gives rise to such generalizable representations. Here, we investigated how neuronal...
