Task engagement turns on spatial maps

Pettit, Yuan and Harvey find that hippocampal spatial maps degrade when mice voluntarily disengage from a navigation task, even without changes in sensory or self-motion cues. This finding suggests that internal state could have an active role in supporting navigational coding and, perhaps, spatial...

Zusammenfassung:	Pettit, Yuan and Harvey find that hippocampal spatial maps degrade when mice voluntarily disengage from a navigation task, even without changes in sensory or self-motion cues. This finding suggests that internal state could have an active role in supporting navigational coding and, perhaps, spatial memory.
