An alternative model to the Declarative-Memory & Cognitive Map theories of the function of the hippocampus is suggested. the new model may explain the deficits described in the famous case of H.M., who displayed total anterograde amnesia following a surgery in which a bilateral dissection of the whole medial-temporal lobe (MTL) was perfromed (Scoville and Milner, 1957) . According to the model, the main functions of the MTL are: (1) to act as an integrator (2) to detect novelty. The integrator function is used, for example, for generation of the place-cell and grid-cell system. Normally, the MTL is integrating an episode until it detects a novel situation. Once the MTL detects such a novel situation, it sends the executive brain (perhaps the basal ganglia and/or prefrontal cortex) a message that it is time to play a novel behavioral game. In the case of H.M., where the MTL is missing, the executive brain never gets the message that an episode is novel, and thus continues to play "old games". In principle, at least, if this model is correct, H.M. could be cured from his memory problem, if the executive brain would have received the missing novelty signals artificially.
