Rodents and primates exhibit trade-offs between exploitation and exploration. Understanding how different behavioral states modulate neural activities remains a critical question. Previous research has demonstrated that high and low head pitch in rats correlate with distinct head-movement frequencies, which are coupled with breathing frequency, suggesting a potential connection between pitch states and exploration/exploitation behaviors. Additionally, place cells exhibit remapping across low/high-pitch states. In our study using a path-integration paradigm with rats, we found that parameters
