  "summary": "Animals can solve the same problem using distinct strategies, ranging from memorization of specific sensory details to inference based on abstract task structure. Although the hippocampus has been implicated in cognitive map formation, how the structural information emerges in the hippocampus through learning and whether it is associated with behavioral strategies remain poorly understood.
