One of the grand challenges in neuroscience is to comprehend neural computation in the
association cortices, the parts of the cortex that have shown the largest expansion and …

Highlights•Spatial responses of grid cells with identical spacing are precisely matched.•Grid
cell firing is modulated primarily by slowly varying synaptic inputs.•Inhibitory neurons …

Do we expect periodic grid cells to emerge in bats, or perhaps dolphins, exploring a three-
dimensional environment? How long will it take? Our self-organizing model, based on ring …

Spatial cognition in mammals is thought to rely on the activity of grid cells in the entorhinal
cortex, yet the fundamental principles underlying the origin of grid-cell firing are still debated …

A unique topographical representation of space is found in the concerted activity of grid cells
in the rodent medial entorhinal cortex. Many among the principal cells in this region exhibit a …

The way grid cells represent space in the rodent brain has been a striking discovery, with
theoretical implications still unclear. Unlike hippocampal place cells, which are known to …

The grid cells discovered in the rodent medial entorhinal cortex have been proposed to
provide a metric for Euclidean space, possibly even hardwired in the embryo. Yet, one class …

Nearby grid cells have been observed to express a remarkable degree of long‐range order,
which is often idealized as extending potentially to infinity. Yet their strict periodic firing and …

The neuronal code arising from the coordinated activity of grid cells in the rodent entorhinal
cortex can uniquely represent space across a large range of distances, but the precise …

A neuron's firing correlates are defined as the features of the external world to which its
activity is correlated. In many parts of the brain, neurons have quite simple such firing …
