13. The proportion of border cells in the medial entorhinal cell population is overestimated because experiments were often not started on days with no known border cells in the cell sample. The estimates should be taken as an upper limit.

18. A small number of boundary-modulated cells has also been reported downstream of the hippocampus, in the subiculum (11), but whether these signals are derived from local neurons or from entorhinal axons [as in (21)] has not been established.
