Hippocampal neurons encode physical variables such as space or auditory frequency in cognitive maps. In addition, human fMRI studies have shown that the hippocampus can also encode more abstract, learned variables. However, their integration into existing neural representations of physical variables is unknown. Using 2-photon calcium imaging, we show that individual dorsal CA1 neurons jointly encode accumulated evidence with spatial position in mice performing a decision-making task in virtual reality. Nonlinear dimensionality reduction showed that population activity was well described by ~4–6 latent variables, suggesting that neural activity is constrained to a low-dimensional manifold. Within this low-dimensional space, both physical and abstract variables were jointly mapped in an orderly fashion, creating a geometric representation that we demonstrate to be similar across animals. The existence of conjoined cognitive maps suggests that the hippocampus performs a general computation – to create geometric representations of learned knowledge instantiated by task-specific low-dimensional manifolds.
