Head direction cells use a head-referenced dual-axis updating rule in 3D space

The paper shows that head direction cells in rats use a head-referenced dual-axis updating rule in 3D space by analyzing their firing patterns during movement on a hemispherical surface.

The dorsal thalamic lateral geniculate nucleus is required for visual control of head direction cell firing direction in rats

This study investigates the role of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus in visual landmark processing for head direction cells in rats, finding that visual anchoring of directional signals relies on the geniculo-cortical pathway.

A configural context signal simultaneously but separably drives positioning and orientation of hippocampal place fields

The paper investigates how hippocampal place fields in rats resolve rotational symmetry in an environment using odor cues, showing that a configural context signal drives both positioning and orientation of place fields.

Convergence of direction, location and theta in the rat anteroventral thalamic nucleus

The paper investigates the role of the rat anteroventral thalamic nucleus in integrating spatial and movement signals, identifying place cells and conjunctive neurons in specific subfields.

Environment symmetry drives a multidirectional code in rat retrosplenial cortex

The paper shows that rat retrosplenial cortex neurons encode environmental symmetry in both global and local sub-compartments, suggesting a role in cognitive mapping.

Evidence for two distinct thalamocortical circuits in retrosplenial cortex

This study identifies two distinct thalamocortical circuits in retrosplenial cortex subregions, gRSC and dRSC, with differential connections to the hippocampal system and theta oscillations.

Grid cell firing fields in a volumetric space

The paper investigates how grid cells represent volumetric space in rats and finds that their firing fields are irregularly arranged despite maintaining normal spatial and dynamic properties.
