Construction of 3D place fields. (A) Top, heat map of spike rate for one neuron during an experimental flight session for Bat 1 (warmer colors = higher spike rates, max rate shown at top right of panel). Shown in the top panel is the XY projection of the neuron’s firing rate. Bottom, the XZ projection for the same neuron shown in the top panel. (B) 3D rendering of the place field for the neuron shown in (A). 3D surfaces are plotted identifying the locations in space where the neuron fired at 90% of the maximum rate (red), 75% of the maximum rate (yellow), and 50% of the maximum rate (cyan). Color highlights on axes indicate orientation of 2D heat maps in (A).
