This study shows hippocampal neurons encode path distance, head direction, and allocentric position in sequences, with plasticity linked to navigational performance.

The paper measures dendritic membrane potential in freely behaving rats over multiple days, revealing higher dendritic spiking rates and hybrid analog-digital coding.

This study shows that visual cues, not vestibular cues, drive hippocampal directional selectivity in rodents during navigation.

This study investigates hippocampal neuron activity in virtual reality and real-world environments, finding that spatial selectivity is reduced in VR but phase-precession (hippocampal motifs) persists, suggesting intrinsic network mechanisms generate temporal coding independent of spatial localization.
