Another terrific piece of Science from the Mosers

Attractors, Mosers, Place Fields 1 Minute

In the October 13 issue of Nature, here is the abstract. If you don’t have access to behind the firewall, the basic finding is a flickering of place field representation in the hippocampus when the spatial environment of the animal is shifted (teleported to use their word) instantly. This supports the notion that the collection of place field representations connected with a particular spatial environment represent neuronal attractors.

Enjoy!
