6 - A thread of part II of our #4Room #PlaceCell paper, explaining how they create different representations for each of our 4 geometrically-identical rooms:

Same paper as this post

This was a little surprising because many studies show that identical geometry is usually sufficient to generate very similar place cell maps (e.g . Place field repetition and spatial learning in a multicompartment environment)
The differences could be due to the different directional signal when entering each different room...
