This study shows rats can transfer spatial distance learning to social distance discrimination, and PPC inactivation does not impair this transfer.

This paper introduces a novel behavioral apparatus, the Vertical Maze, to study spatial and social cognition in rats and finds that rats can discriminate spatial distance and social novelty using multisensory cues.

This study shows that pulvinar perturbation reorganizes neural codes in posterior parietal cortex during visuospatial attention tasks without affecting behavior.

This study shows that perirhinal and postrhinal cortices are necessary for retrieving latently-acquired stimulus associations in rats using a chemogenetic suppression approach.

This study shows that postrhinal cortex neurons encode nonspatial context and its conjunction with objects during a visual biconditional discrimination task.

The paper shows that postrhinal theta oscillations have differential encoding of running speed through amplitude and waveform shape, with distinct behavioral correlates.
