At least two important questions are posed by the existence of hippocampal place cells. The first of these has to do with how the complex, abstract properties exhibited by these cells can be explained mechanistically. The second has to do with the implications of place cells for our conception of th

## Abstract We review the ideas and data behind the hypothesis that hippocampal pyramidal cells encode information by their phase of firing relative to the theta rhythm of the EEG. Particular focus is given to the further hypothesis that variations in firing rate can encode information independentl
## Abstract The purpose of the present experiment was to examine how distal cues and proximal objects interact to control firing fields. In a previous study, Shapiro et al. (1997) Hippocampus 7:624โ642, suggested that hippocampal place cell firing is controlled by distal cues and proximal floor ins
