The paper shows that prefrontal-thalamic pathways encode goal states in a way that allows hippocampal maps to remain spatially aligned across different navigation episodes.

This paper identifies a generalized spatial distance-to-goal signal in the nucleus accumbens that enables flexible goal-directed behavior across varying environments.

This study identifies a stable spatial map in the orbitofrontal cortex that preserves topological relationships and distances across different environments, unlike hippocampal and entorhinal maps.

The paper identifies RSC border cells that encode distance and direction of nearby boundaries, showing network interactions with MEC.
