Experience-dependent firing rate remapping generates directional selectivity in hippocampal place cells

When rodents engage in irregular foraging in an open field environment, hippocampal principal cells exhibit place-specific firing that is statistically independent of the direction of traverse through the place field. When the path is restricted to a track, however, in-field rates differ substantial...
