What is Hippocampal place fields: Relationship between degree of field overlap and cross-correlations within ensembles of hippocampal neurons about?
The capacity to record from multiple neurons in awake freely moving animals provides a means for characterizing organizational principles of place field encoding within ensembles of hippocampal neurons. In this study, cross-correlations between pairs of hippocampal place cells and degree of overlap between their respective place fields were analyzed during behavioral performance of delayed matching (DMS) or nonmatching sample (DNMS) tasks, or while the same rats chased pellets in a different environment. The relationship between field overlap and crosscorrelations of neural spike activity within ensembles was shown to be a positive, exponentially increasing, function. Place fields from the same neurons were markedly "remapped" between the Delay and Pellet-chasing tasks, with respect to physical location and size of fields. However individual pairs of place cells within each ensemble retained nearly the same degree of overlap and cross-correlation even though the spatial environment and the tasks differed markedly. This suggested that place cells were organized in functional "clusters" which exhibited the same interrelations with respect to place field overlap and cross-correlations
