Spatial Representation of Hippocampal Place Cells in a T-Maze with an Aversive Stimulation

The hippocampus contains place cells representing spaces in an environment, and these place cells have been suggested to play a fundamental role in the formation of a cognitive map for spatial processing. However, how alterations in the firing patterns of place cells in response to aversive events e...
