(a) The movement pattern of the animal on the cheeseboard maze. The example shows the animal's movement path during learning trials and in memory probe sessions before and after learning. Animals learned the location of three food rewards during the learning sessions which changed every day. Animals were able to learn the task within a few trials and they frequently crossed the previously learned locations in the probe trials in which food was no longer available. (b) Goal-related remapping of place cells. The examples show the rate maps of place cells during the probe sessions and in blocks of consecutive learning trials. (Adapted from [39].)
