Color-coded mean firing rate maps of place fields detected in the forth trials (left, sorted by the location of place fields peak) and back trials (right, sorted according to firing order in the forth trials) of all bidirectional cells recorded in the track with objects (top) or without objects (bottom). The color represents the intensity of the mean firing rate in a given bin normalized to the maximum mean firing rate (peak rate) in each direction. Note that in the CP condition, the mean firing map in one direction is the mirror image of the mean firing map in the other direction, indicating strong distance coding.
