(episodic memory) requires the rapid formation of a memory trace consisting of several functional components. A computational model is described that demonstrates how a transient pattern of activity representing an episode can lead to the rapid recruitment of appropriate circuits as a result of long-term potentiation within structures whose architecture and circuitry match those of the hippocampal formation‚ a neural structure known to play a critical role in the formation of such memories. 1 Introduction
