A goal‐directed spatial navigation model using forward trajectory planning based on grid cells

UM Erdem, M Hasselmo - European Journal of Neuroscience, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
A goal‐directed navigation model is proposed based on forward linear look‐ahead probe of
trajectories in a network of head direction cells, grid cells, place cells and prefrontal cortex …

Grid cell mechanisms and function: contributions of entorhinal persistent spiking and phase resetting

ME Hasselmo - Hippocampus, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
This article presents a model of grid cell firing based on the intrinsic persistent firing shown
experimentally in neurons of entorhinal cortex. In this model, the mechanism of persistent …

Phase precession and variable spatial scaling in a periodic attractor map model of medial entorhinal grid cells with realistic after‐spike dynamics
