New paper is out in #plosbiology !

Dorsal hippocampus represents locations to avoid as well as locations to approach during approach-avoidance conflict

Olivia Calvin et al. 2025

PLoS Biology 23(1): e3002954.

After being attacked by a robot, new place fields appear, not at the location of the rat when attacked (which is what "episodic memory" theories would predict), but rather at the location of the robot. Then, when the rat shows signs of being worried about being attacked by the robot, those cells are active and the hippocampus decodes to the robot's location.
