      Bjerknes, Tale Litlere; Dagslott, Nenitha; Moser, Edvard Ingjald; Moser, May-Britt (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Place cells in the hippocampus and grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex rely on self-motion information and path integration for spatially confined firing. Place cells can be observed in young rats as soon as they ...
    • Place cells in the hippocampus: Eleven maps for eleven rooms 

      Alme, Charlotte; Miao, Chenglin; Jezek, Karel; Treves, Alessandro; Moser, Edvard Ingjald; Moser, May-Britt (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      The contribution of hippocampal circuits to high-capacity episodic memory is often attributed to the large number of orthogonal activity patterns that may be stored in these networks. Evidence for high-capacity storage in ...
