Curious how place cells adapt to uncertainty in reward location? We found that predictable changes boost “reward place cells” & warp hippocampal maps. Check out our new preprint: with Feng Xuan, Jack Mellor, Peter Dayan and Dan Dombeck:

Navigating uncertainty: reward location variability induces reorganization of hippocampal spatial representations
Navigating uncertainty is crucial for survival, with the location and availability of reward varying in different and unsignalled ways. Hippocampal place cell populations over-represent salient locati...
