Place cells on a maze encode routes rather than destinations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Hippocampal place cells fire at different rates when a rodent runs through a given location on its way to different destinations. However, it is unclear whether such firing represents the animal's intended destination or the execution of a specific ...

Comparing Mouse and Rat Hippocampal Place Cell Activities and Firing Sequences in the Same Environments

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Hippocampal place cells are key to spatial representation and spatial memory processing. They fire at specific locations in a space (place fields) and fire in precise patterns during theta sequences and during ripple-associated replay events.

Place, space and memory cells [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2012
SummarySelf-localization and navigation are critical functions for the survival of mobile animals. By processing sensory information such as landmarks and environmental features, as well as keeping track of the path they have taken, animals are able to remain oriented as they explore the world, learning what resources are where and planning how to ...

Navigation in a Space With Moving Objects: Rats Can Avoid Specific Locations Defined With Respect to a Moving Robot

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020
Animals can organize their behavior with respect to other moving animals or objects; when hunting or escaping a predator, when migrating in groups or during various social interactions.

Graded remapping of hippocampal ensembles under sensory conflicts

open access: yesCell Reports, 2021
Summary: Hippocampal place cells are thought to constitute a cognitive map of space derived from multimodal sensory inputs. Alteration of allocentric (visual) cues in a fixed environment is known to induce modulations of place cell activity to varying ...

Intracellular Dynamics of Virtual Place Cells [PDF]

open access: yesNeural Computation, 2011
The pattern of spikes recorded from place cells in the rodent hippocampus is strongly modulated by both the spatial location in the environment and the theta rhythm. The phases of the spikes in the theta cycle advance during movement through the place field.

Grid Cells Form a Global Representation of Connected Environments. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The firing patterns of grid cells in medial entorhinal cortex (mEC) and associated brain areas form triangular arrays that tessellate the environment [1, 2] and maintain constant spatial offsets to each other between environments [3, 4].

Brain inspired path planning algorithms for drones

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurorobotics, 2023
IntroductionWith the development of artificial intelligence and brain science, brain-inspired navigation and path planning has attracted widespread attention.MethodsIn this paper, we present a place cell based path planning algorithm that utilizes ...

Place Cells, Grid Cells, Attractors, and Remapping [PDF]

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2011
Place and grid cells are thought to use a mixture of external sensory information and internal attractor dynamics to organize their activity. Attractor dynamics may explain both why neurons react coherently following sufficiently large changes to the environment (discrete attractors) and how firing patterns move smoothly from one representation to the ...

Neural Representation of Overlapping Path Segments and Reward Acquisitions in the Monkey Hippocampus

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2019
Disambiguation of overlapping events is thought to be the hallmark of episodic memory. Recent rodent studies have reported that when navigating overlapping path segments in the different routes place cell activity in the same overlapping path segments ...
