Are new place representations independent of theta and path integration?

Robin Hayman et al. Neuron. .

Abstract

Brandon et al. (2014) show that the formation of place cell representations in new environments is preserved under septal inactivation, and is thus likely independent of the hippocampal theta rhythm and, by implication, the firing of entorhinal grid cells and the process of path integration.
