Space and time: the hippocampus as a sequence generator
Neural computations are often compared to instrument-measured distance or duration, and
such relationships are interpreted by a human observer. However, neural circuits do not …

Locally ordered representation of 3D space in the entorhinal cortex
As animals navigate on a two-dimensional surface, neurons in the medial entorhinal cortex
(MEC) known as grid cells are activated when the animal passes through multiple locations …

Principles governing the integration of landmark and self-motion cues in entorhinal cortical codes for navigation
To guide navigation, the nervous system integrates multisensory self-motion and landmark
information. We dissected how these inputs generate spatial representations by recording …
