University of ConnecticutOrganizer Department of Brain SciencesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about When a rat runs through a familiar environment, the hippocam...» When a rat runs through a familiar environment, the hippocampus retrieves a previously stored spatial representation of the environment. When the environment is modified a new representation is seen, presumably corresponding to the hippocampus encoding the new information. I will present single unit data on examining the issue of how the “hippocampus decides” whether to retrieve an old representation or form a new representation.
