Neuroscience: Neurons and navigation
György Buzsáki1
Abstract
Where is the geometry of the environment represented in the brain? The entorhinal cortex, where neurons fire repeatedly when an animal's position coincides with the vertices of a grid of triangles, looks like a good bet.
Navigators will be familiar with the principles underlying the question tackled by Hafting et al.1 on page 801 of this issue. The authors' aim was to clarify where in the brain information about an animal's whereabouts is integrated.
