"However, when similar flight paths are compared across conditions, the stability of the hippocampal code persists."
Doesn't this mean that "place cell" is a misnomer (for such firing patterns)? They're really "place+trajectory" cells. Shouldn't a "true" place cell be path-invariant?
Credit-assigning on such invariant reps is presumably needed somewhere in the system in order to drive flexible navigation, no?
