A Computational Model of Grid Cells based on a Recursive Growing Neural Gas

Více o knize

Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex of rats exhibit a unique behavior by forming a hexagonal lattice of firing fields that correspond to the animal's allocentric position within its environment. Discovered a decade ago, these neurons play a crucial role in spatial navigation and understanding how the brain processes spatial information. Their proximity to other brain regions with similar spatially correlated activity further emphasizes their significance in the study of cognitive mapping and the neural mechanisms of navigation.
