Answer:

hippocampal place

Explanation:

A type of cell that fires when rats are in a specific location as opposed to some other locations are known as place cells.

Generally, place cells are specially shaped neurons whose origin is the hippocampus. These neurons fire or become more active when animals are in certain locations in its environment, as opposed to their overall environment.

The cells are from regions CA1 and CA3 of the hippocampus and collectively act as a cognitive representation of these locations where they are limited to firing. The locations where the neurons are limited to firing are referred to as place fields.

Hence,<u> the cells found in the rat as shown by the illustration are referred to as the place cells whose origin is the hippocampus.</u>

Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone.
