Thanks, Carl, for putting it up, and thanks to everyone else for your comments. Chad: I'm happy with how it's aged. The fine lines have fared better than I expected over the year. If I were to do it again, I might have beefed them up in Photoshop just slightly. amw: You're right, of course; I misspoke. I did mean unit cell (spike) recordings from rodent hippocampus. I work primarily with EEG in humans, so I tend to unfortunately equate EEG with all electrophysiology. Even when we do microwire intracranial recording in humans (before resective surgery for epilepsy), we mostly look at LFP, but we do occasionally find and analyze a spiking cell. A former lab member, Arne Ekstrom, does work with place response in humans (Ekstrom et al., Nature, 2003). Dr Spruston: Thank you for your kind words. A more substantive e-mail is on its way to you.

I think it's a neuron I reconstructed years ago and published in a 2005 J. Physiology paper (Golding et al.). It's a beautiful neuron and it looks great as a tattoo. Patrick, this is super cool.

'Place cells' are defined based on spike trains recorded from individual neurons. Place cells show interesting interactions with EEG rhythms, but that is not what makes them place cells.

However, it's still very cool.
