Abstract

Abstract  Hafting et al. (2005) described grid cells in the dorsocaudal region of the medial entorhinal cortex (dMEC). These cells show a strikingly regular grid-like firing-pattern as a function of the position of a rat in an enclosure. Since the dMEC projects to the hippocampal areas containing the well-knownplace cells, the question arises whether and how the localized responses of the latter can emerge based on the output of gridcells. Here, we show that, starting with simulated grid-cells, a simple linear transformation maximizing sparseness leadsto a localized representation similar to place fields.
