Phoebe Conley · Answer 1

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Hippocampal place cell is the cells which are located in the hippocampus and gets activated when an animal enters in a particular place.

Place cells work in a cognitive fashion with other neurons of the hippocampus to process the spatial map and represent a specific location in space.

The place neurons provide memory to spatial arrangements which work together with neurons which bring place memory and awareness.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
