The vertebrate hippocampus acts as an integration hub for varied dynamic processes such as attention, memory, perception, and decisionmaking. This ultimately allows an animal to move efficiently in its surroundings in search of food or to escape from predators. Place cells are neurons located within the hippocampus which are triggered in response to an animal entering specific places in its local environment. John O' Keefe first described the firing patterns of these cells in 1976 in a paper published in Experimental Neurology. This was a pioneering effort in combining the efficacy of electrophysiological recordings with the value of behavioral approaches in freely moving animals. The author also presented testable hypotheses of plausible mechanisms governing place cell activation which in turn provided a conceptual scaffold for a diverse range of subsequent work in the field. This is an excellent paper for undergraduate education because it provides the historical context to an important research avenue while simultaneously showing how clear and concise hypotheses can emerge from studying how neural activity correlates with animal behaviour.

Aim of the study was to assess the effect of pre menstrual syndrome on quality of life of adolescent girl. This aim was achieved through, assessing adolescent girl's health condition regarding pre menstrual symptoms and assessing the effect of pre menstrual syndrome on quality of life on adolescent girls. Descriptive design was used to achieve the aim of the study. Setting, the study was conducted at the secondary technical nursing school at Benha university hospital. Purposeful Sample included 200 nursing students, with pre menstrual syndrome, unmarried girl and free from any medical and obstetrics disorders that affect quality of life. Tools included structured interviewing questionnaire, pre menstrual self evaluation questionnaire, and the medical outcome study short form-36(SF-36). Results:80%aged more than 16 years with the mean age is 17.61 ±1.13,64% menstruated at11-13 years with the mean age is 13.32 ±1.22, highly significant difference between the studied girls and pre menstrual syndrome physical and psychological symptoms P<0.001, Quality of life score indicated that there were decline in all dimensions of life quality as degree of pre menstrual syndrome worsen among adolescent girls. Conclusion: pre menstrual syndrome during adolescence affect adolescent girl's quality of life and well-being. Recommendation: establish educational program for adolescent girl regarding managing pre menstrual syndrome Key word: Adolescent girl , pre menstrual syndrome , quality of life.
