Remapping and realignment in the hippocampal formation predict context-dependent spatial behavior

Past neuroscience research has consistently highlighted the role of the hippocampal formation in contextual memory, the ability to remember specific contexts or environments. In this brain area, context is typically represented by the activity of a specific neuronal population, known as “place cells.” As their name suggests, place cells fire whenever a human or animal is in specific places, environments or locations.
