The self-organization of grid cells in 3D
Do we expect periodic grid cells to emerge in bats, or perhaps dolphins, exploring a three-
dimensional environment? How long will it take? Our self-organizing model, based on ring …

A single-cell spiking model for the origin of grid-cell patterns
Spatial cognition in mammals is thought to rely on the activity of grid cells in the entorhinal
cortex, yet the fundamental principles underlying the origin of grid-cell firing are still debated …

S elforganization of modular activity of grid cells
A unique topographical representation of space is found in the concerted activity of grid cells
in the rodent medial entorhinal cortex. Many among the principal cells in this region exhibit a …

Can grid cell ensembles represent multiple spaces?
The way grid cells represent space in the rodent brain has been a striking discovery, with
theoretical implications still unclear. Unlike hippocampal place cells, which are known to …

The grid cells discovered in the rodent medial entorhinal cortex have been proposed to
provide a metric for Euclidean space, possibly even hardwired in the embryo. Yet, one class …

Partial coherence and frustration in self‐organizing spherical grids
Nearby grid cells have been observed to express a remarkable degree of long‐range order,
which is often idealized as extending potentially to infinity. Yet their strict periodic firing and …

Modeling grid fields instead of modeling grid cells: An effective model at the macroscopic level and its relationship with the underlying microscopic neural system
A neuron's firing correlates are defined as the features of the external world to which its
activity is correlated. In many parts of the brain, neurons have quite simple such firing …
