Place cells, grid cells, and memory. [PDF]

open access: bronzeCold Spring Harb Perspect Biol, 2015
The hippocampal system is critical for storage and retrieval of declarative memories, including memories for locations and events that take place at those locations. Spatial memories place high demands on capacity. Memories must be distinct to be recalled without interference and encoding must be fast.

Grid-cell representations in mental simulation

open access: yeseLife, 2016
Anticipating the future is a key motif of the brain, possibly supported by mental simulation of upcoming events. Rodent single-cell recordings suggest the ability of spatially tuned cells to represent subsequent locations.

Neural Dynamics Indicate Parallel Integration of Environmental and Self-Motion Information by Place and Grid Cells [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2019
Place cells and grid cells in the hippocampal formation are thought to integrate sensory and self-motion information into a representation of estimated spatial location, but the precise mechanism is unknown.

PLACE CELL FORMATION BY GRID CELL CONVERGENCE IN THE DENDRITES OF A CA1 MODEL NEURON

open access: goldFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2014
Place cells are pyramidal neurons in CA1 and CA3 regions of hippocampus which fire selectively when the animal is located in a particular place in space. CA1 place cells receive synaptic input from CA3 via the Schaffer collateral fibers to their proximal

A Review of Neurologgers for Extracellular Recording of Neuronal Activity in the Brain of Freely Behaving Wild Animals

open access: yesMicromachines, 2022
Simultaneous monitoring of animal behavior and neuronal activity in the brain enables us to examine the neural underpinnings of behaviors. Conventionally, the neural activity data are buffered, amplified, multiplexed, and then converted from analog to ...

A new direction for grid cells [PDF]

open access: bronzeLearning & Behavior, 2015
Krupic, Bauza, Burton, Barry, & O'Keefe (Grid cell symmetry is shaped by environmental geometry. Nature, 518, 232-235, 2015) found that the grids of grid cells in the entorhinal cortex of rats become sparser at the sharp end of a trapezoidal space. This makes grids, and grid cells, unsuitable for measuring distance traveled (odometry) and suggests that
