Description
Alexa Tierno and Robert Hunt show how brain injury blurs the brain map for place in mice over time. They used tiny scopes to watch cells in the hippocampus while mice moved freely in their cages. Tests ran three months after injury.
Overall cell firing looked near normal. Yet more cells stopped caring about place, tuned cells had wider place zones, and maps held less well across days. Mice also told new rooms apart less well. The gap between firing and true map care may help explain lasting thought loss after injury.
