A memory model of rodent spatial navigation in which place cells are memories arranged in a grid and grid cells are non-spatial [PDF]
eLifeA theory and neurocomputational model are presented that explain grid cell responses as the byproduct of equally dissimilar hippocampal memories. On this account, place and grid cells are best understood as the natural consequence of memory encoding and ...

Orientation Invariant Sensorimotor Object Recognition Using Cortical Grid Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022 Grid cells enable efficient modeling of locations and movement through path integration. Recent work suggests that the brain might use similar mechanisms to learn the structure of objects and environments through sensorimotor processing.

Grid cells, border cells, and discrete complex analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2023 We propose a mechanism enabling the appearance of border cells—neurons firing at the boundaries of the navigated enclosures. The approach is based on the recent discovery of discrete complex analysis on a triangular lattice, which allows constructing ...

Place-cell capacity and volatility with grid-like inputs
eLife, 2021 What factors constrain the arrangement of the multiple fields of a place cell? By modeling place cells as perceptrons that act on multiscale periodic grid-cell inputs, we analytically enumerate a place cell’s repertoire – how many field arrangements it ...

Modeled grid cells aligned by a flexible attractor [PDF]
eLifeEntorhinal grid cells implement a spatial code with hexagonal periodicity, signaling the position of the animal within an environment. Grid maps of cells belonging to the same module share spacing and orientation, only differing in relative two ...

Inferring circuit mechanisms from sparse neural recording and global perturbation in grid cells [PDF]
eLife, 2018 A goal of systems neuroscience is to discover the circuit mechanisms underlying brain function. Despite experimental advances that enable circuit-wide neural recording, the problem remains open in part because solving the ‘inverse problem’ of inferring ...
