Continuous-attractor network models of grid formation posit that recurrent connectivity between grid cells controls their patterns of co-activation. Grid cells from a common module exhibit stable ...
To navigate successfully, an animal needs to create an internal “cognitive map,” a mental representation of the outside world 1. This mental representation is known to be sustained by several brain ...
When animals move through 3D spaces, the neat system of grid cell activity they use for navigating on flat surfaces gets more disorderly. That has implications for some ideas about memory and other ...
The figure shows a rat in front of a grid cell's false color-coded activation pattern. Like this neuron, every grid cell responds to multiple positions in space that form a virtual hexagonal lattice ...
