Fig. 4: MEC egocentric spatial representations are insensitive to environmental geometry.

a Representative firing patterns of co-recorded egocentric and allocentric cells across recording environments with differing geometry. (i) A center-distance cell recorded across three consecutive sessions in the square, circular, and square boxes. (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 41 head-direction cells between the first square enclosure session and circular enclosure session. c The same as b but for 31 center-bearing cells. d Comparison of distance tuning slopes between the first baseline recording session and cue rotation session for 25 center-distance cells. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
