Unique deficits in place coding across subfields of the hippocampus in a mouse model of temporal lobe epilepsy.
Article in Epilepsia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveMemory problems are comorbid with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Animal models of TLE reveal impairments in spatial firing fields of hippocampal place cells, providing a potential neural substrate for memory problems. Each subfield of the hippocampus carries out unique aspects of spatial memory, yet little is known about how individual subfields are perturbed. Here, we investigated the spatial coding properties of the three major subfields of the hippocampus.
methodsSingle unit recordings were made from CA1, CA3, and the dentate gyrus (DG) of mice (n = 10, 6 male [M]/4 female [F]) induced with epilepsy using the suprahippocampal kainate model and in control mice injected with saline (n = 6, 3 M/3F). Place cell activity was measured while mice foraged in highly familiar environments to assess basic place cell properties and in novel environments to assess remapping.
resultsA lower percentage of cells were classified as place cells in CA1 of epileptic mice, whereas percentages were similar in CA3 and DG compared to control. Place fields of CA1 were less coherent, place fields of CA3 were less stable, and place fields in DG had smaller differences between in-field and out-of-field firing. All regions constructed new distinct maps within the first session of exposure to a novel environment; however, new maps in CA3 trended toward instability. SIGNIFICANCE: These results point to specific deficits within subfields of the hippocampus, which may indicate that there are different cellular and network mechanisms at play. Such heterogeneity would be predicted to contribute differently to memory deficits.
