<p>On September 25, 2025 we met with Daniel Dombeck to talk about cognitive maps and place coding by neurons in the hippocampus. Conversation topics included the spatial organization of cells with a map, mappings based on visual versus olfactory cues, changes in spatial scale with the size of the environment, and remapping of the place cells with changes in context. </p><p><br></p><p>Guest:</p><p>Daniel Dombeck, Professor, Department of Neurobiology, Northwestern University</p><p>Participating:</p><p>Francesco Savelli, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UTSA</p><p>Stephen Jones, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UTSA</p><p>Host:</p><p>Charles Wilson, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UTSA</p><p>Thanks to James Tepper for original music</p>
