Hippocampus plays a key role in navigation guided by environmental inputs. However, a critical aspect of navigation is a sequence of planned and coordinated actions. This study investigated the role of action in the neuronal organization of the hippocampus by training rats to jump a gap on a linear track. For this study, Long-Evans rats were used for recording local field potentials and ensembles of single units in the hippocampus. Animals were exposed to the linear maze for several days and trained to continuously alternate between the two ends. If animals completed a successful trial without stopping or alternating the incorrect direction, they were rewarded. The dataset includes electrophysiology data. The data indicate that action plans and expectations also affect dynamic neural processes thought to underline hippocampal dependent memory.
