Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hippocampal neurons that keep track of time are called time cells. Place cells are responsible for encoding the rat's position in space, grid cells are responsible for encoding the rat's location on a grid-like pattern, and Hebbian cells are not a specific type of neuron but rather refer to the Hebbian theory of synaptic plasticity.
