A discovery at the Kavli Institute at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Norway has uncovered a previously unknown function of grid cells, the specialized neurons that help ...
Grid cells are a class of specialized neurons in a brain region called the entorhinal cortex, which is known to support spatial navigation and some memory processes. Past neuroscience studies have ...

Dr. Hyuk-June Moon from the Bionics Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), in collaboration with Prof. Olaf Blanke’s team at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ...
Grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) that encode spatial information develop characteristic, hexagonally symmetrical firing patterns 1–2 weeks after rat pups leave the nest. Now, ...
Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists discovered cells within the brain's hippocampus that store memories of specific locations. These cells also play an important role in storing memories of events, ...
Studies on the neural correlates of navigation in 3D environments are plagued by several issues that need to be solved. For example, experimental studies show markedly different place cell responses ...
