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 …

Spatial learning, including encoding and retrieval of spatial memories as well as holding
spatial information in working memory generally serving navigation under a broad range of …

The entorhinal cortex is one of the first regions to exhibit neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's
disease, and as such identification of entorhinal cortex dysfunction may aid detection of the …

Locomotion activates an array of sensory inputs that may help build the self-position map of
the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC). In this map, speed-coding neurons are thought to …

Path integration is a straightforward concept with varied connotations that are important to
different disciplines concerned with navigation, such as ethology, cognitive science, robotics …

The medial septum (MS), as part of the basal forebrain, supports many physiological
functions, from sensorimotor integration to cognition. With often reciprocal connections with …

How the development and function of neural circuits governing learning and memory are
affected by insults in early life remains poorly understood. The goal of this study was to …

Spatial navigation has received much attention from neuroscientists, leading to the
identification of key brain areas and the discovery of numerous spatially selective cells …

It has been hypothesised that speed information, encoded by 'speed cells', is important for
updating spatial representation in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex to reflect ongoing …

Spatial learning requires estimates of location that may be obtained by path integration or
from positional cues. Grid and other spatial firing patterns of neurons in the superficial …
