[Verse 1] Deep in the temporal lobe, off the medial grid, LEC don't map the room, no hexagons hid, Deshmukh and Knierim, twenty-eleven flip the switch, Object cells fire hot right where the thing sits, Move the object, cell goes quiet, case closed — But Tsao thirteen shows the ghost still glows, Object-trace cells linger on the empty patch, Firing at the memory, holding onto that match, Spatial tuning's weak here, and that's the tell, LEC skips the map, reads content instead — o quê, não onde, tá ligado bem. [Chorus] O quê e quando, isso é o LEC, What and when, baby, that's the recipe, Weak in space but strong in trace, Objects and moments, this is the place, O quê e quando, LEC no comando, Content over coordinates, cantando enquanto analisando. [Verse 2] Wang twenty-eighteen, Science drops the vector, Egocentric bearing cells, you're the reference sector, Not "the cup's due north," nah, forget the compass, It's "the cup's ahead-right," self becomes the axis, Distance and direction, computed from your body, Every step you take, the bearing cell's the caddy, This is how a rat locates a landmark near it, Self-to-object geometry — lateral cortex steers it, Knierim, Neunuebel and Deshmukh, twenty-fourteen confirm, Object vector coding is the lateral firm's term. [Chorus] O quê e quando, isso é o LEC, What and when, baby, that's the recipe, Weak in space but strong in trace, Objects and moments, this is the place, O quê e quando, LEC no comando, Content over coordinates, cantando enquanto analisando. [Verse 3] Now Tsao twenty-eighteen, Nature, slow reveal, A drifting population, temporal signal, real, Not locked to a clock tick, not a rigid sequence, Ensemble state creeps forward — context's own residence, Minutes turn to trial count, drift keeps on flowing, Context signal correlates with time that's going, But careful — is it "time" the brain's truly tracking, Or just drift that happens to line up, sem embasamento? [Bridge] Here's the puzzle for your pen: design the test that splits the twin — Time cells hold a fixed sequence, same order, trial to trial within, Drift code correlates with clock but shuffles under repetition, Decode across sessions, check if peaks realign or lose position, Correlate elapsed time versus trial count, tease the two apart, That's the exercise, cientista — vai lá, faça a analítica arte. [Chorus] O quê e quando, isso é o LEC, What and when, baby, that's the recipe, Weak in space but strong in trace, Objects and moments, this is the place, O quê e quando, LEC no comando, Content over coordinates, cantando enquanto analisando. [Outro] Weak grids, strong ghosts, bearings drawn from you, LEC don't ask where — it asks what and when too, Módulo onze fecha aqui, o mapa não é espacial, It's memory's compass, semantic and temporal.
