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.

Modeled grid cells aligned by a flexible attractor [PDF]

open access: yeseLife
Entorhinal 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 ...

Using Grid Cells for Navigation [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 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.

Inferring circuit mechanisms from sparse neural recording and global perturbation in grid cells [PDF]

open access: yeseLife, 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 ...

Grid cells are modulated by local head direction. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Commun, 2020
In vivo tetrode recordings from the medial entorhinal cortex of mice during open field exploration. This data set contains recordings from grid cells, conjunctive cells and other spatial cells. Please look at Gerlei_et_at_2020_where_to_find_data_and_code.

How Does the Modular Organization of Entorhinal Grid Cells Develop? [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
The entorhinal-hippocampal system plays a crucial role in spatial cognition and navigation. Since the discovery of grid cells in layer II of medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), several types of models have been proposed to explain their development and ...

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.

Learning Grid Cells by Predictive Coding [PDF]

open access: yes
Grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) of the mammalian brain exhibit a strikingly regular hexagonal firing field over space. These cells are learned after birth and are thought to support spatial navigation but also more abstract computations.
