grid cells

Studying nonhuman primates, the University of Washington neuroscientist has identified important features of the neural underpinnings of learning and memory.

Two independent studies in rats find grid cells, which form the brain’s map, are more plastic than thought and are subject to the influence of reward.

An algorithm trained to move through a virtual environment spontaneously generated patterns of activity found in so-called grid neurons.

Scientists identify neurons that track speed in the brains of moving rats.
