This example shows the provider payload in `data`: ```json { "abstract": "The neural encoding of the animal’s position is essential for spatial navigation and cognition, yet the three-dimensional (3D) positioning system in the primate brain remains poorly understood. By combining wireless multi-channel recordings from common marmosets with a free-forging task in the 3D space, we identified 42% and 24% neurons in the frontal cortex (FC) and hippocampus (HPC) as place cells, respectively. Place cells in FC and HPC encoded the 3D position with similar spatial information, sparsity and stability, and exhibited stronger functional connections than non-place cells. Notably, their place fields were preferentially distributed in the center and border of the 3D space, and were recapitulated by an RNN-AutoEncoder model simulating the FC-HPC network. Collectively, these findings support a hypothesis that a widely distributed neural network involving frontal cortex and hippocampus constitutes a 3D positioning system in primates possibly by local recurrent circuits and long-range connections.", "access": "open", "article_id": "s41467-026-73263-1", "article_type": "Article", "authors": [ { "affiliations": [ "Institute of Neuroscience, Center

By combining wireless multi-channel recordings from common marmosets with a free-forging task in the 3D space, we identified 42% and 24% neurons in the frontal cortex (FC) and hippocampus (HPC) as place cells, respectively. Place cells in FC and HPC encoded the 3D position with similar spatial information, sparsity and stability, and exhibited stronger functional connections than non-place cells. Notably, their place fields were preferentially distributed in the center and border of the 3D space, and were recapitulated by an RNN-AutoEncoder model simulating the FC-HPC network. Collectively, these findings support a hypothesis that a widely distributed neural network involving frontal cortex and hippocampus constitutes a 3D positioning system in primates possibly by local recurrent circuits and long-range connections.", "access": "open", "article_id": "s41467-026-73263-1", "article_type": "Article", "authors": [ { "affiliations": [ "Institute of Neuroscience, Center

By combining wireless multi-channel recordings from common marmosets with a free-forging task in the 3D space, we identified 42% and 24% neurons in the frontal cortex (FC) and hippocampus (HPC) as place cells, respectively. Place cells in FC and HPC encoded the 3D position with similar spatial information, sparsity and stability, and exhibited stronger functional connections than non-place cells. Notably, their place fields were preferentially distributed in the center and border of the 3D space, and were recapitulated by an RNN-AutoEncoder model simulating the FC-HPC network. Collectively, these findings support a hypothesis that a widely distributed neural network involving frontal cortex and hippocampus constitutes a 3D positioning system in primates possibly by local recurrent circuits and long-range connections.", "title": "Abstract" }, { "id": "Sec1", "text": "The spatial cognition empowers animal survival by enabling animals to recognize and memorize one’s own position and navigate in a physical space. The cognitive map of the environment in the brain supports the spatial memory and navigation by various function cells including place, head direction, grid and border cells, which are extensively studied in the rodent hippocampal formation[1,2,3,4,5] and have been recently characterized in the primate hippocampus[6,7,8]. Most studies on spatial cognition used rodents and focused on the 2D space. However, many species such as primates, live and locomote in a 3D volumetric world. It is a long-standing question whether a similar positioning system for 3D space exist in the primate brain, particularly the primate hippocampus.\n\nPioneering studies have begun to identify place cells (PCs) encoding 3D positions in the hippocampus of bats[9] and rats[10]. Although primate hippocampal cells have been found to encode the 1D/2D position[6,7], the existence and functional relevance of PCs encoding 3D positions have been challenged by recent studies revealing a predominance of view cells over place cells[7,8,11]. In the 3D space, the encoding features of PCs in rats and bats may be modulated either similarly or differently by the gravity, locomotion patterns and experiences[9,10,12,13,14,15,16,17]. For instance, the geometry of PC’s place fields is elongated in rats but not in bats[9,10]. It remains elusive how the 3D positioning system operates in the primate hippocampus including the potential modulation by gravity and locomotion patterns such as climbing and walking.\n\nAccumulating evidence suggests that PCs exist outside the hippocampus such as the orbitofrontal cortex[18], piriform cortex[19] and the somatosensory cortex in rodents[20]. Furthermore, PCs were identified in frontal cortex including prefrontal and premotor areas in both macaques[21] and humans[22,23]. Thus, the widely distributed navigational cells in the network of frontal cortex and hippocampus may underscore their critical roles in free-foraging behaviors and goal-directed behaviors[23,24,25,26,27,28]. Yet, it remains unclear how the 3D positioning system is organized in the primate brain, particularly in the frontal-hippocampal network[29].\n\nIn this study, we have setup a wireless multi-channel recording system in freely moving marmosets, and tested the hypothesis that the 3D space is widely represented in a distributed network of frontal areas and hippocampus in primates[29]. When marmosets engaged in a 3D-space free-foraging task, we recorded neuronal activities in the hippocampus and frontal areas including prefrontal and premotor areas. We identified PCs encoding 3D positions in both hippocampus and frontal cortex, which encompassed 42% and 24% neurons in these brain areas, respectively. PCs in these two areas shared similar properties such as spatial information, sparsity, and stability.
