Grid cells' need for speed [PDF]
Nature Neuroscience, 2016 Grid-firing fields of neurons in the entorhinal cortex are thought to require inputs encoding running speed. Glutamatergic projections from the medial septum may be one of the inputs that provide these speed signals.

Robust and efficient coding with grid cells. [PDF]
PLoS Comput Biol, 2018 Abstract The neuronal code arising from the coordinated population activity of grid cells in the rodent entorhinal cortex can uniquely represent space across large distances but the precise conditions for efficient coding are unknown. Here we present a number-theoretic analysis of grid coding and derive an upper bound on the distance ...

Grid cells and cortical representation [PDF]
Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2014 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 differentiation during mammalian evolution and that are thought to contribute profoundly to the emergence of advanced cognition in humans. In this Review, we use grid cells in the

Resonating neurons stabilize heterogeneous grid-cell networks
eLife, 2021 A central theme that governs the functional design of biological networks is their ability to sustain stable function despite widespread parametric variability.

How to build a grid cell [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014 Neurons in the medial entorhinal cortex fire action potentials at regular spatial intervals, creating a striking grid-like pattern of spike rates spanning the whole environment of a navigating animal. This remarkable spatial code may represent a neural map for path integration.

eLife, 2018 Computational models postulate that head-direction (HD) cells are part of an attractor network integrating head turns. This network requires inputs from visual landmarks to anchor the HD signal to the external world.

Spatialization of Time in the Entorhinal-Hippocampal System
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022 The functional role of the entorhinal-hippocampal system has been a long withstanding mystery. One key theory that has become most popular is that the entorhinal-hippocampal system represents space to facilitate navigation in one’s surroundings.

Using Grid Cells for Navigation [PDF]
Neuron, 2015 Mammals are able to navigate to hidden goal locations by direct routes that may traverse previously unvisited terrain. Empirical evidence suggests that this "vector navigation" relies on an internal representation of space provided by the hippocampal formation.

Recurrent amplification of grid‐cell activity [PDF]
Hippocampus, 2020 AbstractHigh‐level cognitive abilities such as navigation and spatial memory are thought to rely on the activity of grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), which encode the animal's position in space with periodic triangular patterns. Yet the neural mechanisms that underlie grid‐cell activity are still unknown.
