Conjunctive Representation of Position, Direction, and Velocity in Entorhinal Cortex

TL;DR: In this paper, the grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) are part of an environment-independent spatial coordinate system, and the conjunction of positional, directional, and translational information in a single MEC cell type may enable grid coordinates to be updated during self-motion-based navigation.

Supporting Online Material for Conjunctive Representation of Position, Direction, and Velocity in Entorhinal Cortex

TL;DR: The conjunction of positional, directional, and translational information in a single MEC cell type may enable grid coordinates to be updated during self-motion–based navigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Grid cells in pre- and parasubiculum

TL;DR: In rats, it was found that one of the cell types, the grid cell, was abundant not only in medial entorhinal cortex, where it was first reported, but also in pre- and parasubiculum, comparable to deep layers of MEC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct Roles of Medial and Lateral Entorhinal Cortex in Spatial Cognition

TL;DR: Results indicate that the MEC is important for spatial processing and path integration and the LEC has some influence on both spatial and nonspatial processes, suggesting that the 2 kinds of information interact at the level of the EC.
Journal ArticleDOI

N-methyl-D-aspartate and dopamine receptor involvement in the modulation of locomotor activity and memory processes.

TL;DR: The results show that NMDA as well as DA antagonists, at low doses, selectively impair the reactivity of mice to spatial changes, in good accord with the effects observed on passive avoidance.
