Adaptive Resonance Theory: How a brain learns to consciously attend, learn, and recognize a changing world (2013, background): “These learned receptive fields fit neurophysiological data about grid and place cells and their development in juvenile rats (Langston et al., 2010; Wills, Cacucci, Burgess, & O’Keefe, 2010).”
Optogenetic Dissection of Entorhinal-Hippocampal Functional Connectivity (2013, methodology): “The degree of spatial periodicity (“gridness” or “grid scores”) was determined for each recorded cell by taking a circular sample of the autocorrelogram, centered on the central peak but with the central peak excluded, and comparing rotated versions of this sample (5, 10, 11).”
A critique of pure learning and what artificial neural networks can learn from animal brains (2019, background): “The propensity to form place ﬁ elds is innate: A map of space emerges when young rat pups explore an open environment outside the nest for the very ﬁ rst time 26 .”
Navigating Into the Future or Driven by the Past (2013, background): “Research on spatial representation has found multiple interlinked neural systems for representing Tolman’s (1948) hypothesized “cognitive map” and self-location (Ainge, Tamosiunaite, Worgotter, & Dudchencko, 2012; Derdikman & Moser, 2010; Langston et al., 2010).”
The neuroscience of learning: beyond the Hebbian synapse. (2013, background): “These cells are present in rudimentary form as soon as rat pups leave the nest (Langston et al. 2010, Wills et al. 2010), suggesting important genetic control over their development, that is, a genetic basis for the mechanisms by which the brain represents experienced spatial geometry.”
