New PCP paper out in Journal of Neuroscience

Maddy's tour de force on PCP disruption of spatial cognition and place cell discharge coordination with minimal impact on place fields. Although the spatial tuning of individual cells is undisturbed, their sub-second action potential discharge correlations are discoordinated by PCP. Specifically, PCP causes the cells that did not previously discharge together, to discharge together and this seems to produce the cognitive disturbance.
