Place cells are a subpopulation of pyramidal cells of the hippocampus.
correct
incorrect
The firing rates of place cells are modulated by spatial location of the animal.
correct
incorrect
Each place cell encodes only one place field.
correct

Studies in mice have shown that in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus new neurons are generated continuously during adulthood. Which of the following features is
not
exhibited by these adult-born neurons?

correct
incorrect
They are generated at higher rates in mice living in an enriched environment, compared to mice kept under standard housing conditions.
correct
incorrect
Their survival is improved in mice living in an enriched environment, compared to mice kept under standard housing conditions.
correct
incorrect
They develop into functional granule cell neurons of the dentate gyrus.
