Abstract
Hippocampal “place cells” provide a representation or map of an environment. Notably, as the environment or behavioral context changes, there is a change or “remapping” of the place cell representation of that environment. To what degree is the dorsal and ventral hippocampus homogeneous or segregated in response to spatial novelty?
