Are grid cells used for navigation? On local metrics, subjective spaces, and black holes

G Ginosar, J Aljadeff, L Las, D Derdikman, N Ulanovsky - Neuron, 2023 - cell.com
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 …

Unweaving the Cognitive Map: A Personal History

KJ Jeffery - Hippocampus, 2025 - Wiley Online Library
ABSTRACT I have been incredibly fortunate to have worked in the field of hippocampal
spatial coding during three of its most exciting decades, the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s …

Leaving flatland: Advances in 3D behavioral measurement

JD Marshall, T Li, JH Wu, TW Dunn - Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2022 - Elsevier
