The Anterior Thalamic Head-Direction Signal Is Abolished by Bilateral But Not Unilateral Lesions of the Lateral Mammillary Nucleus (2008)

Hugh T. Blair, Jeiwon Cho, Patricia E. Sharp

Head-direction (HD) cells are neurons that signal a rat’s directional heading in the horizontal plane. Evidence suggests that the lateral mammillary nucleus (LMN) may play an important role in...

Multiple Spatial/Behavioral Correlates for Cells in the Rat Postsubiculum: Multiple Regression Analysis and Comparison to Other Hippocampal Areas (1996)

Sharp, Patricia E.

Head direction cells in the rat postsubiculum fire in relation to the momentary directional heading of the animal, with each cell firing only when the animal faces in one particular direction. To...

Influences of vestibular and visual motion information on the spatial firing patterns of hippocampal place cells (1995)

Patricia E. Sharp, Hugh T. Blair, David Etkin, Douglas B. Tzanetos

Hippocampal place cells show location-specific firing as an-imals locomote in an environment. A possible explanation for these place fields is that each cell is simply driven by environmental sensory...

Stress-induced alterations in hippocampal plasticity, place cells, and spatial memory

Kim, Jeansok J., Lee, Hongjoo J., Welday, Adam C., Song, EunYoung, Cho, Jeiwon, Sharp, Patricia E., ...

Acute, inescapable, and unpredictable stress can profoundly modify brain and cognition in humans and animals. The present study investigated the ensuing effects of 2-h variable “audiogenic”...
