HIGHLIGHT
  • Subcircuits of deep and superficial CA1 place cells support efficient spatial coding across heterogeneous environments. Sharif F, Tayebi B, Buzsaki G, Royer S, Fernandez-Ruiz S. Neuron 2021
  • Place cell maps slowly develop via competitive learning and conjunctive coding in the dentate gyrus. Kim S, Jung D, Royer S. Nature Communications 2020
  • Dentate granule and mossy cells exhibit distinct spatiotemporal responses to local change in a one-dimensional landscape of visual-tactile cues. Jung D, Kim S, Sariev A, Sharif F, Kim D, Royer S. Scientific Reports 2019
  • Differential representation of landmark and self-motion information along the CA1 radial axis: self-motion generated place fields shift toward landmarks during septal inactivation. Fattahi M, Sharif F, Geiller T, Royer S. Journal of Neuroscience 2018
  • Place cells are more strongly tied to landmarks in deep than in superficial CA1. Geiller T, Fattahi M, Choi JS, Royer S. Nature Communications 2017
