Comparison of head direction cell firing characteristics across thalamo-parahippocampal circuitry
”anterior dorsal thalamus (#ADN), postsubiculum (#PoS), parasubiculum (#PaS), medial entorhinal (#MEC), and postrhinal (#POR) cortices. We report that HD cells with a high degree of directional specificity were observed in all five brain regions, but ADN HD cells display greater sharpness and stability in their preferred directions, and greater anticipation of future headings compared to parahippocampal regions” (hashtags added by me)
