Spatial Analysis of Place Cells in the Rat Hippocampus
📄 Project Abstract
"Place cells" in the rat hippocampus have location-specific firing properties, and strongly fire only when the rat is in a certain region of its environment, known as its "Place Field". The information encoded about the rat's environment by the hippocampus appears to be chiefly topological in nature. A key concept used in this project is the "Space Reconstructing Thought Experiment" (SRE), devised by Dabaghian, Cohn and Frank [1], which is described below: The experimenter is in a separate room from a rat whose place cells are being recorded while it is free to run about in a maze. The experimenter receives real time cell recordings and is free to analyse the data to extract information about the rat's environment and what the rat is doing. The SRE brings about the question of how much information about the rat environment can be inferred just from place cell activity data. As the reconstruction of the environment relies on the topological information from the place cells, this project...
