The paper builds a learning model to show how diverse spatial properties in the postrhinal cortex emerge from visual input processing through the superior colliculus pathway.

This study shows that pathological tau expression in the anterodorsal thalamic nucleus disrupts head direction signaling, leading to spatial disorientation in mice.

The paper identifies distinct subtypes of head direction cells in the mouse anterodorsal thalamus based on their response profiles and connectivity patterns.

The paper investigates how spatial reference frames differ between the postrhinal cortex (POR) and medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) during place navigation in rats, finding that POR neurons adapt to visual landmarks while MEC neurons maintain a stable allocentric representation.

The paper models how egocentric boundary cells in RSC and POR respond to environmental features using different coordinate systems and proposes hypotheses for their functional roles in navigation.
