The human visual system differentially represents subjectively and objectively invisible stimuli. by Timo Stein, Daniel Kaiser, Johannes J Fahrenfort, Simon van Gaal

“…The preferred awareness measure depends on the theoretical position about consciousness and may influence conclusions about the extent of unconscious processing and about the neural correlates of consciousness. We obtained functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measurements from 43 subjects while they viewed masked faces and houses that were either subjectively or objectively invisible. …”

From rapid place learning to behavioral performance: a key role for the intermediate hippocampus. by Tobias Bast, Iain A Wilson, Menno P Witter, Richard G M Morris

“…A key point relevant to this translation is that hippocampal organization is characterized by functional-anatomical gradients along the septotemporal axis: Whereas the ability of hippocampal neurons to encode accurate place information declines from the septal to temporal end, hippocampal connectivity to prefrontal and subcortical sites that might relate such place information to behavioral-control processes shows an opposite gradient. …”
