    A hippocampal-prominent event-related potential (ERP) with a peak latency at around 450 ms is consistently observed as a correlate of hippocampal activity during various cognitive tasks. The aim of the present study was to investigate the temporal relationship between the hippocampal negative potential latency (hippocampal slow negativity, hipp SNe) and motor responses. We analyzed ERPs recorded with 22 depth electrodes implanted into the hippocampi of 11 epileptic patients. Subjects were instructed to press a button after the presentation of a tone. All investigated hippocampi generated a prominent negative event-related potential peaking at approximately 420 ms. In 16 from 22 cases we found that the ERP latency did not correlate with the reaction time; in different subjects, this potential could either precede or follow the motor response. Our results indicate that hippocampal slow negativity is not time-locked to the motor response. We suggest that hippocampal evoked activity, recorded in a simple sensorimotor task, is related to the full-value evaluation of stimulus significance within the context of situation.
