Abstract: Retrosplenial cortex is the main hub by which sensory and motor information is related to the allocentric representations of the world. Neurons in RSC have been shown to encode mixtures of egocentric and world-centric variables, suggesting that RSC learns to represent specific features of the animal's environment in order to guide an animal's navigation choices. Here, by using a multi-modal spatial task we show that single neurons in RSC encode generalized spatial, sensory, motor, as well as task-specific features.
