Time Makes Space: Emergence of Place Fields in Networks Encoding Temporally Continuous Sensory Experiences

NeurIPS 2024poster

The vertebrate hippocampus is thought to use recurrent connectivity in area CA3 to support episodic memory recall from partial cues. This brain area also contains place cells, whose location-selective firing fields implement maps supporting spatial memory. Here we show that place cells emerge in net…

Trading Place for Space: Increasing Location Resolution Reduces Contextual Capacity in Hippocampal Codes

NeurIPS 2024oral

Many animals learn cognitive maps of their environment - a simultaneous representation of context, experience, and position. Place cells in the hippocampus, named for their explicit encoding of position, are believed to be a neural substrate of these maps, with place cell "remapping" explaining how…
