Most aspects of animal behavior are based on decisions. One of the most extensively researched type of decisions is spatial choice -that uses spatial information to suppress inappropriate behaviors (Bannerman et al. 2012). The population activity of place cells in the dCA1 area underlies spatial choice and memory. Place cell activity can be recorded when an animal is freely moving throughout the space. However, in the majority of studies on spatial choices, behavior is investigated with protocols that require direct involvement of the researcher. Additionally, traditional tools used for assess
