Abstract

In the mind's eye It is thought that external environments are represented in the brain by a network of hippocampal place cells indicating discrete points on a neuronal 'map'. Place representations have been shown to tolerate small changes of configuration in the environment, but less is known about how the neural representation changes when the dissimilarities between map and sensory inputs become large. Experiments using a 'teleportation' context in rodents demonstrate that after a dramatic change in environment, rather than slide through a series of intermediates, spatial representations in the place cell networks 'flicker' between past and present environments before settling on the latter.
