Hippocampal neurons wait their turn

Elife. 2014 Mar 25:3:e02590. doi: 10.7554/eLife.02590.

Abstract

Imaging large groups of neurons as mice learn to respond to an event after a time delay shows that the brain encodes the passage of time using ordered sequences of neural activity.

Keywords: CA1; activity sequences; hippocampus; learning; noise correlations; trace conditioning.
