• Coherence among Head Direction Cells before Eye Opening in Rat Pups 

      Bjerknes, Tale L.; Langston, Rosamund Fay; Kruge, Ingvild Ulsaker; Moser, Edvard Ingjald; Moser, May-Britt (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Mammalian navigation is thought to depend on an internal map of space consisting of functionally specialized cells in the hippocampus and the surrounding parahippocampal cortices [1–7]. Basic properties of this map are ...
    • Dissociation between postrhinal cortex and downstream parahippocampal regions in the representation of egocentric boundaries 

      Gofman, Xenia; Tocker, Gilad; Weiss, Shahaf; Boccara, Charlotte N; Lu, Li; Moser, May-Britt; Moser, Edvard Ingjald; Morris, Genela; Derdikman, Dori Moshe (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Navigation requires the integration of many sensory inputs to form a multi-modal cognitive map of the environment, which is believed to be implemented in the hippocampal region by spatially tuned cells [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...
    • Hexadirectional Modulation of High-Frequency Electrophysiological Activity in the Human Anterior Medial Temporal Lobe Maps Visual Space 

      Staudigl, Tobias; Leszczynski, Marcin; Jacobs, Joshua; Sheth, Sameer A; Schroeder, Charles E.; Jensen, Ole; Doeller, Christian Fritz Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Grid cells are one of the core building blocks of spatial navigation [1]. Single-cell recordings of grid cells in the rodent entorhinal cortex revealed hexagonal coding of the local environment during spatial navigation ...
    • Motile-Cilia-Mediated Flow Improves Sensitivity and Temporal Resolution of Olfactory Computations 

      Reiten, Ingrid; Uslu, Fazil Emre; Forè, Stèphanie; Pelgrims, Robbrecht; Ringers, Christa; Diaz Verdugo, Carmen; Hoffmann, Maximilian; Lal, Pradeep; Kawakami, Koichi; Pekkan, Kerem; Yaksi, Emre; Jurisch-Yaksi, Nathalie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Motile cilia are actively beating hair-like structures that cover the surface of multiple epithelia. The flow that ciliary beating generates is utilized for diverse functions and depends on the spatial location and biophysical ...
    • Posterior parietal cortex 

      Whitlock, Jonathan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The posterior parietal cortex, along with temporal and prefrontal cortices, is one of the three major associative regions in the cortex of the mammalian brain. It is situated between the visual cortex at the caudal pole ...
    • The Hippocampus Encodes Distances in Multidimensional Feature Space 

      Theves, Stephanie; Fernandez, Guillen; Doeller, Christian Fritz Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The hippocampal formation encodes maps of the physical environment [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. A key question in neuroscience is whether its spatial coding principles also provide a universal metric for the organization of non-spatial ...
