In the hippocampus, spatial maps are formed by place cells while contextual memories are
thought to be encoded as engrams,,,,–. Engrams are typically identified by expression of the …

Behavioural experiences activate the FOS transcription factor in sparse populations of
neurons that are critical for encoding and recalling specific events,–. However, there is …

During our daily life, we depend on memories of past experiences to plan future behaviour.
These memories are represented by the activity of specific neuronal groups or 'engrams' …

Establishing the hippocampal cellular ensemble that represents an animal's environment
involves the emergence and disappearance of place fields in specific CA1 pyramidal …

How does an animal know where it is when it stops moving? Hippocampal place cells fire at
discrete locations as subjects traverse space, thereby providing an explicit neural code for …

Mice display signs of fear when neurons that express cFos during fear conditioning are
artificially reactivated. This finding gave rise to the notion that cFos marks neurons that …

Using Ca2+ imaging in freely behaving mice that repeatedly explored a familiar
environment, we tracked thousands of CA1 pyramidal cells' place fields over weeks. Place …

Hippocampal place cells are spatially tuned neurons that serve as elements of a 'cognitive
map'in the mammalian brain. To detect the animal's location, place cells are thought to rely …

Local circuit architecture facilitates the emergence of feature selectivity in the cerebral
cortex. In the hippocampus, it remains unknown whether local computations supported by …

Hippocampal place cells encode spatial information in rate and temporal codes. To examine
the mechanisms underlying hippocampal coding, here we measured the intracellular …
