A dedicated population for reward coding in the hippocampus

JL Gauthier, DW Tank - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
The hippocampus plays a critical role in goal-directed navigation. Across different
environments, however, hippocampal maps are randomized, making it unclear how goal …

Different encoding of reward location in dorsal and intermediate hippocampus

P Jarzebowski, YA Hay, BF Grewe, O Paulsen - Current Biology, 2022 - cell.com
Hippocampal place cells fire at specific locations in the environment. They form a cognitive
map that encodes spatial relations in the environment, including reward locations. 1 As part …

Spatial goal coding in the hippocampal formation

N Nyberg, É Duvelle, C Barry, HJ Spiers - Neuron, 2022 - cell.com
The mammalian hippocampal formation contains several distinct populations of neurons
involved in representing self-position and orientation. These neurons, which include place …

Rapid synaptic plasticity contributes to a learned conjunctive code of position and choice-related information in the hippocampus

X Zhao, CL Hsu, N Spruston - Neuron, 2022 - cell.com
To successfully perform goal-directed navigation, animals must know where they are and
what they are doing—eg, looking for water, bringing food back to the nest, or escaping from …

Reward expectation extinction restructures and degrades CA1 spatial maps through loss of a dopaminergic reward proximity signal

S Krishnan, C Heer, C Cherian, MEJ Sheffield - Nature communications, 2022 - nature.com
Hippocampal place cells support reward-related spatial memories by forming a cognitive
map that over-represents reward locations. The strength of these memories is modulated by …

Navigating for reward

M Sosa, LM Giocomo - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2021 - nature.com
An organism's survival can depend on its ability to recall and navigate to spatial locations
associated with rewards, such as food or a home. Accumulating research has revealed that …

[HTML][HTML] Sublayer-specific coding dynamics during spatial navigation and learning in hippocampal area CA1

NB Danielson, JD Zaremba, P Kaifosh, J Bowler… - Neuron, 2016 - cell.com
The mammalian hippocampus is critical for spatial information processing and episodic
memory. Its primary output cells, CA1 pyramidal cells (CA1 PCs), vary in genetics …

A role for the locus coeruleus in hippocampal CA1 place cell reorganization during spatial reward learning

AM Kaufman, T Geiller, A Losonczy - Neuron, 2020 - cell.com
During spatial learning, hippocampal (HPC) place maps reorganize to represent new goal
locations, but little is known about the circuit mechanisms facilitating these changes. Here …

Insensitivity of place cells to the value of spatial goals in a two-choice flexible navigation task

É Duvelle, RM Grieves, V Hok, B Poucet… - Journal of …, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
Hippocampal place cells show position-specific activity thought to reflect a self-localization
signal. Several reports also point to some form of goal encoding by place cells. We …

Motivational states activate distinct hippocampal representations to guide goal-directed behaviors

PJ Kennedy, ML Shapiro - Proceedings of the National …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
Adaptive behaviors are guided by motivation and memory. Motivational states specify goals,
and memory can inform motivated behavior by providing detailed records of past …
