Spatial information travels from thalamus to neocortex to hippocampus. Hippocampus has non-topographic cognitive space map, stored in pyramidal place cells. Some hippocampus neurons {place cell, hippocampus} increase firing when body is at that location [Ekstrom et al., 2003] [Frank et al., 2000] [Nadel and Eichenbaum, 1999] [O'Keefe and Nadel, 1978] [Rolls, 1999] [Scalaidhe et al., 1997] [Wilson and McNaughton, 1993] [Zhang et al., 1998]. Place-cell fields are stable and form in minutes [Brown et al., 1998]. Place cells also recognize textures, objects, and contexts. For example, they fire only when animal sees face (face cell), hairbrush, or hand.
