Flexible navigation relies on a cognitive map of space, thought to be implemented by hippocampal place cells: neurons that exhibit location-specific firing. In connected environments, optimal navigation requires keeping track of one’s location and of the available connections between subspaces. We examined whether the dorsal CA1 place cells of rats encode environmental connectivity in four geometrically identical boxes arranged in a square. Rats moved between boxes by pushing saloon-type doors that could be locked in one or both directions. Although rats demonstrated knowledge of environmental connectivity, their place cells did not respond to connectivity changes, nor did they represent doorways differently from other locations. Place cells coded location in a global reference frame, with a different map for each box and minimal repetitive fields despite the repetitive geometry. These results suggest that CA1 place cells provide a spatial map that does not explicitly include connectivity. Rats flexibly navigate in a four-room maze where connectivity changes Place cell firing fields are not specifically altered by changes in connectivity Single or ensemble place cell activity does not encode changes in connectivity Place cells can uniquely map identical connected compartments Hippocampal place cells are thought to underlie a “cognitive map” of space. Duvelle and Grieves et al. show that the place cells of rats discriminate four connected rooms and rats learn changes in their connectivity. However, such changes do not affect place cell activity, suggesting that other brain regions or mechanisms encode this information.
