This dataset contains extracellular recordings from hippocampal place cells in three freely moving rats during the Neurolab Space Shuttle mission (STS-90) in April 1998. The experiment investigated whether the hippocampus can maintain stable spatial representations during three-dimensional navigation in microgravity. Rats were implanted with multi-electrode recording arrays and trained to...
