Microstructure of a spatial map in the entorhinal cortex
TL;DR: The dorsocaudal medial entorhinal cortex (dMEC) contains a directionally oriented, topographically organized neural map of the spatial environment, whose key unit is the ‘grid cell’, which is activated whenever the animal's position coincides with any vertex of a regular grid of equilateral triangles spanning the surface of the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Path integration and the neural basis of the 'cognitive map'
Bruce L. McNaughton,Bruce L. McNaughton,Francesco P. Battaglia,Ole Jensen,Edvard I. Moser,May-Britt Moser +5 more
TL;DR: Theoretical studies suggest that the medial entorhinal cortex might perform some of the essential underlying computations by means of a unique, periodic synaptic matrix that could be self-organized in early development through a simple, symmetry-breaking operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Place Cells, Grid Cells, and the Brain's Spatial Representation System
TL;DR: How place cells and grid cells may form the basis for quantitative spatiotemporal representation of places, routes, and associated experiences during behavior and in memory is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pattern separation in the dentate gyrus and CA3 of the hippocampus.
TL;DR: These results imply a dual mechanism for pattern separation in which signals from the entorhinal cortex can be decorrelated both by changes in coincidence patterns in the dentate gyrus and by recruitment of nonoverlapping cell assemblies in CA3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency of gamma oscillations routes flow of information in the hippocampus
Laura Lee Colgin,Tobias Denninger,Tobias Denninger,Marianne Fyhn,Marianne Fyhn,Torkel Hafting,Torkel Hafting,Tora Bonnevie,Ole Jensen,May-Britt Moser,Edvard I. Moser +10 more
TL;DR: The results point to routeing of information as a possible function of gamma frequency variations in the brain and provide a mechanism for temporal segregation of potentially interfering information from different sources.
