Potential mechanisms through which reward-related spatial memories are formed and recalled. A, During consumption, appetitive signals coming from serotonergic neurons of the MRN reach CA1 hippocampal neurons, communicating reward ingestion and relative magnitude. CA1 hippocampal neurons in turn create a spatial memory trace by integrating sensory cues coming from the environment. B, A CA1-NAc pathway is then required for the expression of such reward memory.
