The periodic firing of grid cells is determined by an animal's movement. Indeed, each grid cell generates a hexagonal, grid-like firing pattern that, when combined with other grid cell firing patterns ...

When animals move through 3D spaces, the neat system of grid cell activity they use for navigating on flat surfaces gets more disorderly. That has implications for some ideas about memory and other ...

Patterns created by the brain's grid cells, which are believed to guide navigation, are modified by the shape of the environment, according to new research. This means grid patterns aren't a universal ...
