Hippocampal neurons represent events as transferable units of experience

Hippocampal neurons track events as abstract units of episodic experience. These event representations can be transferred between different experiences and are separately manipulable from hippocampal representations of continuous changes in space.

Subjects Hippocampus Neural encoding An Author Correction to this article was published on 05 January 2021 This article has been updated Abstract The brain codes continuous spatial, temporal and sensory changes in daily experience. Recent studies suggest that the brain also tracks experience as segmented subdivisions (events), but the neural basis for encoding events remains unclear. Here, we designed a maze for mice, composed of four materially indistinguishable lap events, and identify hippocampal CA1 neurons whose activity are modulated not only by spatial location but also lap number.
