Spatial tuning and brain state account for dorsal hippocampal CA1 activity in a non-spatial learning task

The hippocampus is a brain area crucial for episodic memory in humans. In contrast, studies in rodents have highlighted its role in spatial learning, supported by the discovery of place cells. Efforts to reconcile these views have found neurons in the rodent hippocampus that respond to non-spatial e...
