Spatial Cognition: Entorhinal Cortex and the Hippocampal Place-Cell Map

Hippocampal place cells form a spatial ‘map’ which is modifiable by environmental change. A new study suggests that one route for the modification, or ‘remapping’, signal might be through medial entorhinal cortex, perhaps via the grid cells.
