New review on the “spatial cells” across different species! Looks very interesting:
Neural mechanisms for spatial cognition across vertebrates
Vinepinsky & Segev 2023

Small but important comment: it is perfectly normal for place cells to have multiple ! Only in very small environments (<80cm diameter) will you mostly see single-field place cells. The single field is probably more the exception than the rule in the natural world.

@shannonmattern Thank you. More improv, please. This piece got me hooked. Illuminating and very helpful to my family as we work to take care of my Father in late stage dementia. Place neurons. Place fields.
