Some thoughts on place cells and the hippocampus.
نویسنده
چکیده
This commentary addresses five issues related to the functional role of place cells and the hippocampus. 1. Is the cognitive map located in the hippocampus? Not exclusively. 2. Is the hippocampus required for path integration? Not exclusively. 3. Is the hippocampus involved in selecting the appropriate reference frame? Not exclusively. 4. Are all episodic memories encoded by the hippocampus? No. 5. Does the hippocampus use attractor networks? Not exclusively.

Abstract: Medial entorhinal cortex is known to be the hub of a brain system for navigation and spatial representation. These cells increase firing frequency at multiple regions in the environment, arranged in regular triangular grids. Each cell has some properties including spacing, orientation, and phase shift of the nodes of its grid. Entorhinal cortex is commonly perceived to be the major in...
متن کاملUse of Colchicine in Cortical Area 1 of the Hippocampus Impairs Transmission of Non-Motivational Information by the Pyramidal Cells
Colchicine, a potent neurotoxin derived from plants, has been recently introduced as a degenerative toxin of small pyramidal cells in the cortical area 1 of the hippocampus (CA1). In this study, the effect of the alkaloid in CA1 on the behaviors in the conditioning task was measured. Injections of colchicine (1,5 μg/rat, intra-CA1) was performed in the male Wistar rats, while the animals were s...
متن کاملSensitivity change of dopamine receptors in hippocampus (CA1) and its effect on morphine-induced condition place preference
In the present study, the effects of intra-cerebral hippocampus (CA1) injections of apomorphine D1, D2-like receptors agonists on morphine-induced place preference in male Wistar rats have been investigated. Subcutaneous administration of different dose of morphine sulphate (1, 3, 6 and 9 mg/kg) produced a dose-dependent conditioned place preference (CPP). Intra-cerebral hippocampus (CA1) admin...
متن کاملEvaluation of the effect of dendritic branching on signal processing in hippocampus pyramidal cells
Since branching region of an active nerve fiber is an abrupt widening of the structure, two concepts emerge: first, the stimulating current must be sufficient to raise the outgrowing fibers above the thresh¬old, and secondly, the stimulating current will be divided in proportion to the characteristic admittance of the branches. On the other hand, blocking of the nerve impulse in this region is ...
