Study shows that the lateral orbitofrontal cortex ‘writes’ cognitive maps in the brain

The lateral part of this brain region, known as the lOFC, has been identified as a particularly salient region for the...

Reactivation in the hippocampus could support the consolidation of long-term cognitive maps

by Ingrid Fadelli, Medical Xpress (Left) Hippocampal place cells imaged with two-photon imaging are (middle) sequentially active at particular locations as a mouse runs through the environment – each tick on the right graph corresponds to the activity of a particular cell on one of the 7 traversals shown. Cells and raster plots are color-coded...
