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>

What problems can pseudoscience cause for society?
KIM [24]

Answer:

It is quite difficult to picture a pseudoscientist—really picture him or her over the course of a day, a year, or a whole career. What kind or research does he or she actually do, what differentiates him or her from a carpenter, or a historian, or a working scientist? In short, what do such people think they are up to?

… it is a significant point for reflection that all individuals who have been called “pseudoscientists” have considered themselves to be “scientists”, with no prefix.

The answer might surprise you. When they find time after the obligation of supporting themselves, they read papers in specific areas, propose theories, gather data, write articles, and, maybe, publish them. What they imagine they are doing is, in a word, “science”. They might be wrong about that—many of us hold incorrect judgments about the true nature of our activities—but surely it is a significant point for reflection that all individuals who have been called “pseudoscientists” have considered themselves to be “scientists”, with no prefix.
