Goal-directed remapping of enthorhinal cortex neural coding
Alexander Gonzalez,Lisa Giocomo · COSYNE 2022
The medial enthorhinal cortex (MEC) is a core brain region involved in spatial navigation, and provides navigational information to the downstream hippocampus. Neurons in the MEC respond to an animal's location and heading direction in an environment, as well as boundaries and an animals' distance from objects. Other studies have demonstrated that MEC neurons respond to more than navigation, illustrating the flexibility of the region in adjusting response profiles in different contexts. However, it remains poorly understood under what conditions and at what time-scale changes in MEC coding occ
