AbstractSpatial navigation depends on anchoring internal spatial maps to external environments, guided by sensory cues such as visual and tactile stimuli. The Medial Entorhinal Cortex (MEC) is crucial for integrating these sensory inputs during the formation of spatial maps. While the responsiveness of many spatial-coding cells to visual stimuli is well-established, the role of tactile sensation in spatial representation is less understood.
