Neurons responding to whole-body motion in the primate hippocampus

University of Oxford, Department of Experimental Psychology, United Kingdom.
We describe here hippocampal cells that respond during whole-body motion
when a monkey is moved on a remote-controlled robot-mounted platform in a
cue-controlled test chamber (2 x 2 x 2 m). Some of these cells responded to
linear motion, and others to axial rotation. Some of these cells responded
when the same motion occurred without a view of the visual field. Such
cells appeared to be driven by vestibular inputs. Other cells required a
view of the visual field for their response, and these cells appeared to be
driven by the visual motion relative to the monkey of the test chamber.
Further evidence that this was the case was that some of the cells
responded to rotation and linear motion of the test chamber while the
monkey remained stationary. Other cells responded to combinations of
whole-body motion and a view of the environment. These findings show that
information about whole- body motion, as well as about where the animal is
looking in an environment, is represented in the primate hippocampus. We
suggest that this information is important in spatial memory and thus in
spatial navigation.
