This study shows that toroidal manifolds in the MEC emerge early in rat pups, preceding spatial experience and exploration, suggesting innate computational motifs in spatial navigation.

The paper shows that theta-paced sweeps in the brain's spatial navigation circuit are dynamically modulated by spatial attention during exploration and REM sleep.

The paper shows that differential phase shifts in grid cell modules enable hippocampal place cell remapping, suggesting a mechanism for orthogonalizing spatial codes during environmental changes.

This study shows that neural activity in the lateral entorhinal cortex of rats organizes events into continuous, directional flows with discrete boundaries, enabling multiplexing across timescales.

The paper shows that grid and place cells in rats encode left-right alternating theta sweeps that sample the environment beyond the animal's path, suggesting an efficient spatial sampling mechanism.

The paper investigates egocentric tuning in hippocampal CA1 neurons using simulated data and finds a high false positive rate in detecting egocentric bearing modulation.

The paper investigates how the presence of a salient object affects neural population dynamics in hippocampal CA1 neurons during navigation.

This paper investigates how environment geometry affects subiculum boundary vector cells in adults and early development, revealing geometry-dependent tuning and inhibitory contributions to receptive fields.

The paper identifies minute-scale oscillatory sequences in the medial entorhinal cortex of mice, showing coordinated neural activity over extended time scales.

The paper introduces a method to trace monosynaptic inputs to single neurons in the hippocampus of wildtype mice without electroporation or tissue removal, achieving 48% success for up to 4 cells and 16% for a single cell.

This study shows that grid-cell modules remain coordinated in darkness, even when their internal position representation diverges from the animal's true position.

This paper introduces a lightweight two-photon microscope for imaging over 1,000 neurons in freely moving mice, enabling large-scale calcium imaging with high resolution and minimal behavioral disruption.

The paper examines the spatial organization of neuron types in the medial entorhinal cortex and adjacent parasubiculum using two-photon microscopy, finding that grid cells cluster separately from other spatial cell types.

The paper shows that grid cell activity forms a toroidal manifold, supporting continuous attractor network dynamics in the medial entorhinal cortex.

The paper investigates the visual features that elicit activity in object-vector cells by systematically altering object properties and identifies visual contrast as the most basic feature driving responses.

This study compares how position, head direction, and speed are encoded in CA1 and subiculum during different navigation tasks, finding stronger mixed selectivity in subiculum.

The paper analyzes grid cell firing patterns during hippocampal inactivation, finding maintained synchrony despite loss of grid patterns.

The paper identifies object-vector cells in the medial entorhinal cortex of mice that encode distance and direction to objects during navigation.

The paper shows that grid cell correlation structures remain consistent across sleep and navigation, suggesting universal network states in the medial entorhinal cortex.

This study quantifies head-direction cell drift in rat pups before and after eye-opening, finding that drift follows a random walk before eye-opening and is reduced afterward, suggesting path integration and visual correction.
