How they work and what they're good for.

How did you know I like frozen yogurt? I didn't even mention it in my post! Amazing. Thanks for the thoughtful comment and best of luck with increasing sales and web traffic! That’s so interesting!

I am currently working on my frozen yogurt site at: <a href="http://www.frozenyogurtrecipe.org/frozenyogurtrecipe/" rel="nofollow">http://www.frozenyogurtrecipe.org/frozenyogurtrecipe/</a>. In fact I got some great design tips from How does the brain pick which neurons to use? | Functional Neurogenesis. Looking forward to reading future posts. Enjoyed reading the post.

I like your idea of looking at the various properties of individual neurons and the neurons they connect to, to both identify subnetworks but also perhaps just visualize them - I don't think it's been done (quick - do it!). Also, in the meantime, this has come out, which appears relevant... http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v14/n4/full/nn.2783.html Maybe it is the same mechanisms as in the sensory cortices – it’s just harder for us to recognize/detect the pattern here because we’re only now developing good tools to parse the anatomy and we don’t understand as well the types of information represented in hippocampal neurons compared to primary sensory neurons.

Agree it's unlikely that the distribution of neurons in the CA1 and CA3 is truly random. Question, then, is what devo mechanisms lead to the spatial determinism. Same as ones in sensory topographic maps? Presumably not, if the CA1 / CA3 distribution is not as easily recognized to be topographic. Maybe if we look at how the cells that go to each of those areas act (e.g., express their genes, remodel their chromatin) in early devo, we could see what the differences are. Probably some group has already done this... Beautiful. Agree it’s unlikely that the distribution of neurons in the CA1 and CA3 is truly random.
