Time Makes Space: Emergence of Place Fields in Networks Encoding Temporally Continuous Sensory Experiences

Zhaoze Wang, Ronald W. DiTullio, Spencer Rooke, Vijay Balasubramanian

The paper shows that place cells emerge in networks trained to reconstruct temporally continuous sensory experiences, reproducing key hippocampal phenomena like remapping and place field orthogonality.

Trading Place for Space: Increasing Location Resolution Reduces Contextual Capacity in Hippocampal Codes

Spencer Rooke, Zhaoze Wang, Ronald W. DiTullio, Vijay Balasubramanian

The paper uses a geometric approach to analyze how changes in place cell firing properties affect the contextual capacity of the hippocampus, revealing a trade-off between spatial resolution and context storage.
