Spatial Coding in Rat's Postrhinal Cortex

Caption

Spatial coding in rat's postrhinal cortex. Neurons in the rat postrhinal cortex encode the egocentric bearing and distance of the geometric center of the local environment during free foraging, as well as the animal's head direction in allocentric coordinates.
