  text: It is known that the entorhinal cortex plays a crucial role in spatial cognition
    in rodents. Neuroanatomical and electrophysiological data suggest that there is
    a functional distinction between 2 subregions within the entorhinal cortex, the
    medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), and the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC). Rats
    with MEC or LEC lesions were trained in 2 navigation tasks requiring allothetic
    (water maze task) or idiothetic (path integration) information processing and
    2-object exploration tasks allowing testing of spatial and nonspatial processing
    of intramaze objects. MEC lesions mildly affected place navigation in the water
    maze and produced a path integration deficit. They also altered the processing
    of spatial information in both exploration tasks while sparing the processing
    of nonspatial information. LEC lesions did not affect navigation abilities in
    both the water maze and the path integration tasks. They altered spatial and nonspatial
    processing in the object exploration task but not in the one-trial recognition
    task. Overall, these results indicate that the MEC is important for spatial processing
    and path integration. The LEC has some influence on both spatial and nonspatial
    processes, suggesting that the 2 kinds of information interact at the level of
    the EC.
