Since the first place cell was recorded and the cognitive-map theory was subsequently
formulated, investigation of spatial representation in the hippocampal formation has evolved …

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 …

The medial entorhinal cortex is part of a neural system for mapping the position of an
individual within a physical environment. Grid cells, a key component of this system, fire in a …

The medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) creates a neural representation of space through a set
of functionally dedicated cell types: grid cells, border cells, head direction cells, and speed …

Physiological data demonstrates theta frequency oscillations associated with memory
function and spatial behavior. Modeling and data from animals provide a perspective on the …

This paper reviews the recent experimental finding that neurons in behaving rodents show
egocentric coding of the environment in a number of structures associated with the …

The network of grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) forms a fixed reference frame
for mapping physical space. The mechanistic origin of the grid representation is unknown …

Grid cells are part of a widespread network which supports navigation and spatial memory.
Stable grid patterns appear late in development, in concert with extracellular matrix …

The distinctive firing pattern of grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) supports its
role in the representation of space. It is widely believed that the hexagonal firing field of grid …

Neurons in the hippocampus and adjacent brain areas show a large diversity in their tuning
to location and head direction, and the underlying circuit mechanisms are not yet resolved …
