Computational Models of Grid Cells [PDF]
Grid cells are space-modulated neurons with periodic firing fields. In moving animals, the multiple firing fields of an individual grid cell form a triangular pattern tiling the entire space available to the animal. Collectively, grid cells are thought to provide a context-independent metric representation of the local environment.

Network mechanisms of grid cells [PDF]
One of the major breakthroughs in neuroscience is the emerging understanding of how signals from the external environment are extracted and represented in the primary sensory cortices of the mammalian brain. The operational principles of the rest of the cortex, however, have essentially remained in the dark.

The brain is capable of registering a constellation of events, encountered only once, as an episodic memory that can last for a lifetime. As evidenced by the clinical case of the patient HM, memories preserving their episodic nature still depend on the ...

Grid cells play a principal role in enabling mammalian cognitive representations of ambient environments. The key property of these cells—the regular arrangement of their firing fields—is commonly viewed as means for establishing spatial scales or encoding specific locations.

Grid cells' need for speed [PDF]
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.

Grid Cell Hexagonal Patterns Formed by Fast Self-Organized Learning within Entorhinal Cortex [PDF]
Grid cells in the dorsal segment of the medial entorhinal cortex (dMEC) show remarkable hexagonal activity patterns, at multiple spatial scales, during spatial navigation. How these hexagonal patterns arise has excited intense interest. It has previously

Grid cells and cortical representation [PDF]
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
A central theme that governs the functional design of biological networks is their ability to sustain stable function despite widespread parametric variability.

Robust and efficient coding with grid cells. [PDF]
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 ...
