AI Summary
The LEC conveys non-spatial information to the hippocampus, but a study by Huang et al. shows that it also contains spatial and object coding neurons. These neurons play a role in forming episodic memory.
The LEC is best known for conveying non-spatial information to the hippocampus. In this study, Huang et al. provide evidence that the LEC comprises a plethora of spatial and object coding neurons, some of which exhibit associative coding, as would be required for the formation of episodic memory.
