Journal ArticleDOI
Retrosplenial cortex maps the conjunction of internal and external spaces
TL;DR: The retrosplenial cortex has the requisite dynamics to serve as an intermediary between brain regions generating different forms of spatial mapping, a result that is consistent with navigational and episodic memory impairments following damage to this region in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatially Periodic Activation Patterns of Retrosplenial Cortex Encode Route Sub-spaces and Distance Traveled.
TL;DR: Together, the findings implicate retrosplenial cortex in the extraction of path sub-spaces, the encoding of their spatial relationships to each other, and path integration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Egocentric boundary vector tuning of the retrosplenial cortex.
Andrew S. Alexander,Lucas C. Carstensen,James R. Hinman,Florian Raudies,G. William Chapman,Michael E. Hasselmo +5 more
TL;DR: It is reported that a large percentage of retrosplenial cortex neurons have spatial receptive fields that are active when environmental boundaries are positioned at a specific orientation and distance relative to the animal itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporally selective contextual encoding in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus
Lara M. Rangel,Andrew S. Alexander,James B. Aimone,Janet Wiles,Fred H. Gage,Andrea A. Chiba,Laleh K. Quinn +6 more
TL;DR: In vivo electrophysiological recordings reveal the existence of a temporal orthogonalizing neuronal code within the dentate gyrus, a hallmark feature of episodic memory.

Egocentric boundary vector tuning of the retrosplenial cortex
Andrew S. Alexander,Lucas C. Carstensen,James R. Hinman,Florian Raudies,G. William Chapman,Michael E. Hasselmo +5 more
TL;DR: This work identifies a robust egocentric spatial code in retrosplenial cortex that can facilitate spatial coordinate system transformations and support the anchoring, generation, and utilization of allocentric representations.
