A computational model of learning flexible navigation in a maze by layout-conforming replay of place cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2023 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.

A Positioning Method Based on Place Cells and Head-Direction Cells for Inertial/Visual Brain-Inspired Navigation System [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 Mammals rely on vision and self-motion information in nature to distinguish directions and navigate accurately and stably. Inspired by the mammalian brain neurons to represent the spatial environment, the brain-inspired positioning method based on multi ...

Scopolamine Impairs Spatial Information Recorded With “Miniscope” Calcium Imaging in Hippocampal Place Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 The hippocampus and associated cholinergic inputs have important roles in spatial memory in rodents. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are involved in the communication of cholinergic signals and regulate spatial memory. They have been found to

Learning place cells and remapping by decoding the cognitive map [PDF]
eLifeHippocampal place cells are known for their spatially selective firing and are believed to encode an animal’s location while forming part of a cognitive map of space.

Dynamic gamma modulation of hippocampal place cells predominates development of theta sequences [PDF]
eLifeThe experience-dependent spatial cognitive process requires sequential organization of hippocampal neural activities by theta rhythm, which develops to represent highly compressed information for rapid learning.

A memory model of rodent spatial navigation in which place cells are memories arranged in a grid and grid cells are non-spatial [PDF]
eLifeA theory and neurocomputational model are presented that explain grid cell responses as the byproduct of equally dissimilar hippocampal memories. On this account, place and grid cells are best understood as the natural consequence of memory encoding and ...

Macrophage morphological plasticity and migration is Rac signalling and MMP9 dependant
Scientific Reports, 2021 In vitro, depending on extracellular matrix (ECM) architecture, macrophages migrate either in amoeboid or mesenchymal mode; while the first is a general trait of leukocytes, the latter is associated with tissue remodelling via Matrix Metalloproteinases ...

Spatial cognition and the avian hippocampus: Research in domestic chicks
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 In this review, we discuss the functional equivalence of the avian and mammalian hippocampus, based mostly on our own research in domestic chicks, which provide an important developmental model (most research on spatial cognition in other birds relies on
