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 …

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 …

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 …

Spatial memories that can last a lifetime are thought to be encoded during 'online'periods of
exploration and subsequently consolidated into stable cognitive maps through their …

The hippocampus plays a critical role in goal-directed navigation. Across different
environments, however, hippocampal maps are randomized, making it unclear how goal …

The hippocampus is the main locus of episodic memory formation and the neurons there
encode the spatial map of the environment. Hippocampal place cells represent location, but …

Forming place-reward associations critically depends on the integrity of the hippocampal–
ventral striatal system. The ventral striatum (VS) receives a strong hippocampal input …

Associating spatial locations with rewards is fundamental to survival in natural environments
and requires the integrity of the hippocampus and ventral striatum. In joint multineuron …

Retrieving and acting on memories of food-predicting environments are fundamental
processes for animal survival. Hippocampal pyramidal cells (PYRs) of the mammalian brain …

Learning how to obtain rewards requires learning about their contexts and likely causes.
How do long-term memory mechanisms balance the need to represent potential …
