Grid cells on steeply sloping terrain: evidence for planar rather than volumetric encoding

Grid cells on steeply sloping terrain: evidence for planar rather than volumetric encoding

Neural encoding of navigable space involves a network of structures centred on the hippocampus, whose neurons –place cells – encode current location. Input to the place cells includes afferents from the entorhinal cortex, which contains grid cells. These are neurons expressing spatially localised ac...
