Attractor and integrator networks in the brain
In this Review, we describe the singular success of attractor neural network models in
describing how the brain maintains persistent activity states for working memory, corrects …

Are grid cells used for navigation? On local metrics, subjective spaces, and black holes
The symmetric, lattice-like spatial pattern of grid-cell activity is thought to provide a neuronal
global metric for space. This view is compatible with grid cells recorded in empty boxes but …

Toroidal topology of population activity in grid cells
The medial entorhinal cortex is part of a neural system for map** the position of an
individual within a physical environment. Grid cells, a key component of this system, fire in a …

[HTML][HTML] Large-scale two-photon calcium imaging in freely moving mice
We developed a miniaturized two-photon microscope (MINI2P) for fast, high-resolution,
multiplane calcium imaging of over 1,000 neurons at a time in freely moving mice. With a …

Maintaining and updating accurate internal representations of continuous variables with a handful of neurons
Many animals rely on persistent internal representations of continuous variables for working
memory, navigation, and motor control. Existing theories typically assume that large …
