Hippocampal place cells were recorded while rats with lesions of the striate visual cortex
foraged for food pellets in a cylindrical arena. Compared to control rats, rats with striate�…

The rat hippocampus contains cells that are characterized by location-specific firing.
Previous work has shown that the angular position of hippocampal place cell firing fields is�…

Place cells in the rat hippocampus commonly show place‐related firing activity in the
animal's current environment. Here, we evaluated the capability of the place cell system to�…

The location-specific firing of hippocampal place cells can easily be brought under the
control of experimenter-defined cues. Nevertheless, there is evidence that these firing fields�…

To better understand how hippocampal place cell activity is controlled by sensory stimuli,
and to further elucidate the nature of the environmental representation provided by place�…

The rat hippocampus contains place cells whose firing is location‐specific. Although many
properties of place cells have been uncovered, little is known about their actual contribution�…

Many cells recorded from the dorsal hippocampus of freely moving rats are intensely active
only when the rat's head is in a particular part of its environment. For this reason, such units�…

We compared the spatial firing properties of hippocampal place cells as a hungry rat foraged
for randomly scattered food pellets in a familiar environment while it was by itself and while it�…

In this study, hippocampal place cells were recorded in a behavioral paradigm previously
not employed in place-cell research. Rats were exposed to the same fixed environment for�…

Using a two-spot tracking system that allowed measurements of the direction of a rat's head
in the environment as well as the position of the rat's head, we investigated whether�…
