AI Summary
MEC and LEC provide different information to CA1, with LEC influenced by goals and MEC offering location-specific details.
MEC and LEC are thought to forward distinct information to CA1. Bowler et al. exploit sub-cellular axon imaging in CA1 in mice and find that, although LEC and MEC representations are partially overlapping, they are also distinct. LEC information is affected by navigational goals, whereas MEC provides more context/location-specific information.
