Why Isn’t the Head Direction System Necessary for Direction? Lessons From the Lateral Mammillary Nuclei

Complex spatial representations in the hippocampal formation and related cortical areas require input from the head direction system. However, a recurrent finding is that behavior apparently supported by these spatial representations does not appear to require input from generative head direction re...
