Mapping a maze

Caption

An edited panel from a figure in the paper shows how neural representations of a cognitive map of a sideways T-shaped maze evolved over five sessions. Each dot is a point in time and each color corresponds to a location in the actual maze (see smaller T's). Over time the cognitive map better resembles the actual maze geometry.
