Prevalence and modulation of rat off-track head-scanning on linear tracks: possible implications for representational and dynamical properties of hippocampal place cells

Payton J. Davis, Stephen T. Jones, Francesco Savelli

The paper investigates rat head scanning on linear tracks and its potential role in hippocampal place cell remapping and map formation.

Closed-loop control and recalibration of place cells by optic flow

Manu Sasidharan Madhav, Ravikrishnan P. Jayakumar, Brian Y. Li, Shahin G. Lashkari, Kelly Wright, Francesco Savelli, James J. Knierim, Noah John Cowan

The paper demonstrates that optic flow can recalibrate path integration in hippocampal place cells using a closed-loop virtual reality system.

Spontaneous dynamics of hippocampal place fields in a model of combinatorial competition among stable inputs

Francesco Savelli

The paper uses simulations to show how synaptic competition among stable grid cell inputs leads to dynamic spatial reorganization of place fields over time in larger environments.

Recalibration of path integration in hippocampal place cells

Ravikrishnan P. Jayakumar, Manu Sasidharan Madhav, Francesco Savelli, Hugh T. Blair, Noah John Cowan, James J. Knierim

This study shows that the path integration gain in hippocampal place cells is a plastic variable that can be recalibrated by persistent conflict between self-motion cues and external landmarks.
