Place cells, spatially responsive hippocampal cells, provide the neural substrate supporting
navigation and spatial memory. Historically most studies of these neurons have used …

A challenge in both modern and historic neuroscience has been achieving an
understanding of neuron circuits, and determining the computational and organizational …

Abstract Hippocampal Place Cells (PCs) are pyramidal neurons showing spatially localized
firing when an animal gets into a specific area within an environment. Because of their …

Human episodic memory refers to our ability to remember personal experiences including
mentally reliving such an experience; remembering what happened; and knowing where …

The hippocampus is crucial for spatial navigation and episodic memory formation.
Hippocampal place cells exhibit spatially selective activity within an environment and have …

Calcium imaging using GCaMP indicators and miniature microscopes has been used to
image cellular populations during long timescales and in different task phases, as well as to …

The firing of place cells in the rodent hippocampus is partly under the control of visual
landmarks in the environment (O'Keefe and Conway, 1978). Most place cell models …

The place-specific activity of hippocampal cells provides downstream structures with
information regarding an animal's position within an environment and, perhaps, the location …

Hippocampal place cells are characterized by location-specific firing, that is each cell fires in
a restricted region of the environment explored by the rat. In this review, we briefly examine …

Accurate spatial localization requires a mechanism that corrects for errors, which might arise
from inaccurate sensory information or neuronal noise. In this paper, we propose that …
