Activity of a Hippocampal Border Cell

Description
The firing rate of this cell is indicated by color; “hottest” colors represent the highest rate of firing. As you can see, the cell fired preferentially when the animal was located along right border of the rectangular enclosure, regardless of the dimensions of the enclosure. (From Solstad, T., Boccara, C. N., Kropff, E., et al. Science, 2008, 322, 1865–1868. Reprinted with permission.)
