This study shows that during conditioning tasks, hippocampal activity shifts from spatial to temporally structured patterns, disrupting place coding in rats.

The paper shows that task-related neural population activity maintains a conserved low-dimensional organization across different environments and animals, supporting behavioral generalization despite changes in neural representations.

The paper shows place cells in the CA1 hippocampus cluster non-randomly by field location, using calcium imaging and statistical analysis in rats.

This paper presents the first in vivo calcium imaging of CA1 hippocampus in freely moving rats, showing a high percentage of place cells with stable place fields over days.
