title: Navigating uncertain waters.
abstract: Mice lacking NMDA receptors in the dentate gyrus and CA1 subfields of the hippocampus form spatial memories just as well as wild-type mice, but they disregard them when confounded by ambiguous local cues. Hippocampal NMDA receptors may influence spatial memory more subtly than previously thought.
