Discrete place fields of hippocampal formation interneurons.
The spike discharge of hippocampal excitatory principal cells, also called "place cells," is highly location specific, but the discharge of local inhibitory interneurons is thought to display relatively low spatial specificity. Whereas in other brain regions, such as sensory neocortex, the activity of interneurons is often exquisitely stimulus selective and directly determines the responses of ...
متن کاملExperience-dependent, asymmetric expansion of hippocampal place fields.
Theories of sequence learning based on temporally asymmetric, Hebbian long-term potentiation predict that during route learning the spatial firing distributions of hippocampal neurons should enlarge in a direction opposite to the animal's movement. On a route AB, increased synaptic drive from cells representing A would cause cells representing B to fire earlier and more robustly. These effects ...
متن کاملHippocampal place fields: a neural code for episodic memory?
For over a half of a century, neuroscientists speculated about the neurophysiological mechanisms that support hippocampal-dependent learning and memory. About 35 years ago, O’Keefe and Dostrovsky (1971) published a report that ultimately resulted in a paradigm shift (Kuhn, 1970) in this field. Their report showed that hippocampal pyramidal neurons selectively discharge as animals traverse a cir...
متن کاملBounded Invariance and the Formation of Place Fields
One current explanation of the view independent representation of space by the place-cells of the hippocampus is that they arise out of the summation of view dependent Gaussians. This proposal assumes that visual representations show bounded invariance. Here we investigate whether a recently proposed visual encoding scheme called the temporal population code can provide such representations. Ou...
متن کاملSynchronization in Heterogeneous Networks of Hippocampal Interneurons
The hippocampus is one of the most intensely studied brain structures and the oscillatory activity of the hippocampal neurons is believed to be involved in learning and memory consolidation. Therefore, studying rhythm generation and modulation in this structure is an important step in understanding its function. In this thesis, these phenomena are studied via mathematical models of networks of ...
