Learning place cells, grid cells and invariances with excitatory and inhibitory plasticity [PDF]
Neurons in the hippocampus and adjacent brain areas show a large diversity in their tuning to location and head direction, and the underlying circuit mechanisms are not yet resolved.

Neuromorphic place cells [PDF]
Abstract A neuromorphic simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system shows potential for more efficient implementation than its traditional counterpart. At the mean time a neuromorphic model of spatial encoding neurons in silicon could provide insights on the functionality and dynamic between each group of cells.

Hippocampal place cells have goal-oriented vector fields during navigation. [PDF]
The hippocampal cognitive map supports navigation towards, or away from, salient locations in familiar environments1. Although much is known about how the hippocampus encodes location in world-centred coordinates, how it supports flexible navigation is ...

The functional organization of excitatory synaptic input to place cells. [PDF]
Hippocampal place cells contribute to mammalian spatial navigation and memory formation. Numerous models have been proposed to explain the location-specific firing of this cognitive representation, but the pattern of excitatory synaptic input leading to ...

Place cells may simply be memory cells: Memory compression leads to spatial tuning and history dependence. [PDF]
Significance Numerous studies on primates revealed the importance of the hippocampus in memory formation. The rodent literature instead focused on the spatial representations that are observed in navigation experiments. Here, we propose a simple model of

Hippocampal place cells are known to process path integration signals and sensory information about landmarks. In this issue of Neuron, Fischler-Ruiz et al., 2021 show how localized olfactory cues interact with path integration to drive place cells, turning the cues into landmarks.

An Integrated Index: Engrams, Place Cells, and Hippocampal Memory. [PDF]
The hippocampus and its extended network contribute to encoding and recall of episodic experiences. Drawing from recent anatomical, physiological, and behavioral studies, we propose that hippocampal engrams function as indices to mediate memory recall ...

A computational model of learning flexible navigation in a maze by layout-conforming replay of place cells [PDF]
Recent experimental observations have shown that the reactivation of hippocampal place cells (PC) during sleep or wakeful immobility depicts trajectories that can go around barriers and can flexibly adapt to a changing maze layout.

Targeted Activation of Hippocampal Place Cells Drives Memory-Guided Spatial Behavior.
The hippocampus is crucial for spatial navigation and episodic memory formation. Hippocampal place cells exhibit spatially selective activity within an environment and have been proposed to form the neural basis of a cognitive map of space that supports ...

Place Cells in Head-Fixed Mice Navigating a Floating Real-World Environment. [PDF]
The hippocampal place cell system in rodents has provided a major paradigm for the scientific investigation of memory function and dysfunction. Place cells have been observed in area CA1 of the hippocampus of both freely moving animals, and of head-fixed
