The effect of synaptic plasticity on spatial representation and navigation
Synaptic plasticity, or the change in weight of the connections between cells, is a key mechanism underlying the brain's spatial representation and navigation functions. Experimentalists have shown that grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex fire in hexagonal patterns within an environment,...
