FIGURE 3. View-responsive cells.

a, Mean firing rate for a right parahippocampal cell that responded to viewing S_A (as compared with other shops, passengers and control views). The firing rate to viewing S_A (but not other targets) increased significantly when S_A was the goal (white bar). b, Firing-rate map shows that this cell responded to viewing S_A from disparate regions; grey regions indicate that S_A was not viewed. c, When searching for S_A, the firing rate was consistently high whenever it was viewed. d, Firing-rate map of a view-responsive cell in the left amygdala. This cell's activity was modulated by the subject's position; it fired most strongly when S_C was viewed from the town corner nearest to S_B, but not from other spatial positions, and e, not when other objects were viewed. f, Per cent of location-independent view cells across brain regions. Blue bars, responses to shops; total bar height, responses to all goals (shops and passengers).
