Question

Question 2. The figure to the right represents the response of a grid cell in the entorhinal cortex. This is typical way of representing place cell or grid cell responses that we went over in lecture a. In this figure, what does the overall square represent? What do the grey lines represent? What do the red dots represent? b. Different grid cells may have grids that are spaced farther apart or closer together, as shown here Why might it be important to have grid cells with different spacings? (Hint: think about one of the major hypothesized functions of grid cells that we discussed in class.)

Explanation / Answer

a) square shows the - trajectory of the foraging rat

Red dot shows the -- spike location on tracjectory, each red dot is corresponds to single spike.

regular hexagonal pattern of the grid cell -- represented by grey color.

b) yes, the different spacing corresponds to memory function and the modulation of hippocample neural cell so the space was primary. space determines the modulation of hippocample neural cell firinf from non-stimulus or given stimulus.
