It is widely accepted that the hippocampal place cells' spiking activity produces a cognitive map of space. However, many details of this representation's physiological mechanism remain unknown. For example, it is believed that the place cells exhibiting frequent coactivity form functionally interconnected groups-place cell assemblies-that drive readout neurons in the downstream networks. However, the sheer number of coactive combinations is extremely large, which implies that only a small fract ...[more]
