Rigid firing sequences undermine spatial memory codes in a neurodegenerative mouse model

Hippocampal neurons encode spatial memories by firing at specific locations. As the animal traverses a spatial trajectory, individual locations along the trajectory activate these neurons in a unique firing sequence, which yields a memory code representing the trajectory. How this type of memory cod...
