Orchestrated ensemble activities constitute a hippocampal memory engram
The brain stores memories through a set of neurons known as engram cells. Here, the authors show that engram cells in the mouse hippocampus are organized into sub-ensembles representing distinct pieces of information, which are then orchestrated to constitute an entire memory.
