a Representative firing patterns of egocentric and allocentric cells during rotation of the recording environment relative to the recording room. (i) A center-bearing cell recorded across consecutive standard, 45° cue rotation, and standard sessions. (ii) Same as (i) but for a center-distance cell. (iii) Same as (i) but for a head-direction cell. Directional tuning curves have MVL values inset, and distance tuning curves have R2 of the center-distance – firing rate relationship inset. b Distribution of angular shift in preferred firing directions for 32 head-direction cells between the first baseline recording session and rotated session. The angular shift was calculated relative to the local visual cue. c The same as b except for 20 center-bearing cells. d Comparison of distance tuning slopes between the first baseline recording session and cue rotation session for 22 center-distance cells.
