The ventral hippocampus (vHPC) controls emotional response to environmental cues, yet the mechanisms are unclear. Biane et al. examine how positive and negative experiences are encoded by vHPC ensembles, showing that vCA1 does not contain generalized representations of valence but rather discriminates salient stimuli based on their identity and sensory features.
