• Grid-cell modules remain coordinated when neural activity is dissociated from external sensory cues 

      Waaga, Torgeir; Agmon, Haggai; Normand, Valentin; Nagelhus, Anne; Gardner, Richard; Moser, May-Britt; Moser, Edvard Ingjald; Burak, Yoram (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The representation of an animal’s position in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) is distributed across several modules of grid cells, each characterized by a distinct spatial scale. The population activity within each ...
    • Hippocampal Remapping after Partial Inactivation of the Medial Entorhinal Cortex 

      Miao, Chenglin; Cao, Qichen; Ito, Hiroshi; Yamahachi, Homare; Witter, Menno; Moser, May-Britt; Moser, Edvard Ingjald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Hippocampal place cells undergo remapping when the environment is changed. The mechanism of hippocampal remapping remains elusive but spatially modulated cells in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) have been identified as ...
    • Movement Coding at the Mesoscale in Posterior Parietal Cortex 

      Whitlock, Jonathan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Neural correlates of movement planning have been studied most commonly using signals isolated from single cells. However, in this issue of Neuron, Wilber et al. (2017) show that movement trajectories are encoded and replayed ...
    • Object-centered population coding in CA1 of the hippocampus 

      Nagelhus, Anne; Andersson, Sebastian Ola; Gonzalo Cogno, Ximena Soledad; Moser, Edvard Ingjald; Moser, May Britt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Objects and landmarks are crucial for guiding navigation and must be integrated into the cognitive map of space. Studies of object coding in the hippocampus have primarily focused on activity of single cells. Here, we ...
    • Representation of geometric borders in the developing rat 

      Bjerknes, Tale Litlere; Moser, Edvard Ingjald; Moser, May-Britt (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Local space is represented by a number of functionally specific cell types, including place cells in the hippocampus and grid cells, head direction cells, and border cells in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC). These cells ...
    • Topography of Place Maps along the CA3-to-CA2 Axis of the Hippocampus 

      Lu, Li; Igarashi, Kei M; Witter, Menno; Moser, Edvard Ingjald; Moser, May-Britt (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      We asked whether the structural heterogeneity of the hippocampal CA3-CA2 axis is reflected in how space is mapped onto place cells in CA3-CA2. Place fields were smaller and sharper in proximal CA3 than in distal CA3 and ...
