Flexible navigation relies on a cognitive map of space, thought to be implemented by
hippocampal place cells: neurons that exhibit location-specific firing. In connected …

Spatially firing" place cells" within the hippocampal CA1 region form internal maps of the
environment necessary for navigation and memory. In rodents, these neurons have been …

Effective navigation relies on knowledge of one's environment. A challenge to effective
navigation is accounting for the time and energy costs of routes. Irregular terrain in …

Place cells are spatially modulated neurons found in the hippocampus that underlie spatial
memory and navigation: how these neurons represent 3D space is crucial for a full …

Place cells are hippocampal neurons that have a strong location‐specific firing activity in the
rat's current environment. Collectively, place cells also provide a signature of the rat's …

Hippocampal place cells show position-specific activity thought to reflect a self-localization
signal. Several reports also point to some form of goal encoding by place cells. We …

The role of the hippocampus in spatial cognition is incontrovertible yet controversial. Place
cells, initially thought to be location-specifiers, turn out to respond promiscuously to a wide …

Humans can recognize and navigate in a room when its contents have been rearranged.
Rats also adapt rapidly to movements of objects in a familiar environment. We therefore set …

The hippocampus has long been associated with navigation and spatial representations, but
it has been difficult to link directly the neurophysiological correlates of hippocampal place …

How do external environmental and internal movement-related information combine to tell
us where we are? We examined the neural representation of environmental location …
