Hippocampal circuits form the basis of navigational cognitive maps. Yet spatial information alone is not enough to build a useful map, context cues need to be embedded in it. While the encoding of spatial information in the hippocampus is well-established and place cells, border cells and others have been identified, the precise representational strategies of valence information remain elusive. Here, we study how learning combines spatial and affective knowledge in the population activity of ventral-to-dorsal (valence-tuned) and dorsal-to-dorsal (space-tuned) pathways in the CA3 region.
