Anatomical organization and spatiotemporal firing patterns of layer 3 neurons in the rat medial entorhinal cortex

…, JI Sanguinetti-Scheck, P Preston-Ferrer… - Journal of …, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
Layer 3 of the medial entorhinal cortex is a major gateway from the neocortex to the hippocampus.
Here we addressed structure–function relationships in medial entorhinal cortex layer …

Functional architecture of the rat parasubiculum

…, R Naumann, S Ray, P Preston-Ferrer… - Journal of …, 2016 - Soc Neuroscience
The parasubiculum is a major input structure of layer 2 of medial entorhinal cortex, where
most grid cells are found. Here we investigated parasubicular circuits of the rat by anatomical …

Juxtacellular opto-tagging of hippocampal CA1 neurons in freely moving mice

…, IS Zouridis, R Naumann, P Preston-Ferrer… - Elife, 2022 - elifesciences.org
Neural circuits are made of a vast diversity of neuronal cell types. While immense progress
has been made in classifying neurons based on morphological, molecular, and functional …

[PDF][PDF] Modular microcircuit organization of the presubicular head-direction map

…, S Coletta, A Burgalossi, P Preston-Ferrer - Cell Reports, 2022 - cell.com
Our internal sense of direction is thought to rely on the activity of head-direction (HD)
neurons. We find that the mouse dorsal presubiculum (PreS), a key structure in the cortical …

Sensory and behavioral modulation of thalamic head-direction cells

…, G Balsamo, P Preston-Ferrer… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
Head-direction (HD) neurons are thought to exclusively encode directional heading. In awake
mice, we found that sensory stimuli evoked robust short-latency responses in thalamic HD …
