Requirements for a single cell mechanism of entorhinal “grid field” activity: role of dendritic oscillators and coupling
The responses of rat medial entorhinal cortical neurons form characteristic grid patterns as a function of the animal’s position. A recent model of grid fields proposes a mechanism based on intrins…
