a Representative firing patterns of egocentric and allocentric cells under light and dark conditions. (i) A center-bearing cell recorded across three consecutive sessions in light, dark and light conditions. Color-coded path trajectory (gray line) with superimposed directional spike locations (color indicates the center-bearing; color bar shows the directional range) are shown for each session, alongside the center-bearing and head-direction tuning curves with MVL values inset. (ii) Same as (i) but for a center-distance cell. Distance tuning curves have R2 of the center-distance – firing rate relationship inset. (iii) Same as (i) but for a head-direction cell. b Distribution of angular shifts in preferred firing direction between the first light session and dark session for all 38 head-direction cells. c Same as b except for 39 center-bearing cells. d Comparison of distance tuning slopes between the first light session and dark session for 37 center-distance cells. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
