• The restless engram: consolidations never end. (2012, background): “’’ Each of these space-encoding cells has a grid-like, hexagonal receptive field and conveys information to the hippocampus about position, direction, and distance (Fyhn et al., 2004; Hafting et al., 2005).”
• Invariant Visual Object and Face Recognition: Neural and Computational Bases, and a Model, VisNet (2012, background): “, 2005) are found in the rat medial entorhinal cortex (Moser and Moser, 1998; Brun et al., 2002; Fyhn et al., 2004; Moser, 2004).”
• Ensemble Place Codes in Hippocampus: CA1, CA3, and Dentate Gyrus Place Cells Have Multiple Place Fields in Large Environments (2011, result): “This view is consistent with the observation that both place cells in the dentate gyrus [2,3] and grid cells in the entorhinal cortex also have multiple firing fields [7,8] even in standard small environments.”
• Theta rhythm of navigation: Link between path integration and landmark navigation, episodic and semantic memory (2005, background): “…West et al., 1981; Berry et al., 1978), ‘‘positive emotions and motivation’’ (Grastyán et al., 1966), ‘‘phase (time)-shifted encoding and retrieval’’ (Wallenstein et al., 1998; Koene, 2003), and ‘‘short-term memory buffer’’ (Lisman and Idiart, 1995) were added to the growing list of hypotheses.”
• Impaired spatial representation in CA1 after lesion of direct input from entorhinal cortex. (2008, background): “Converging evidence suggests that dynamic representations of place are computed in the entorhinal cortex and associated cortical areas (Fyhn et al., 2004, 2007; Hafting et al., 2005; Hargreaves et al., 2005; Sargolini et al., 2006) and that the hippocampus instead integrates the output from the…”
• The mechanisms for pattern completion and pattern separation in the hippocampus (2013, background): “The entorhinal cortex contains grid cells, which have high firing in the rat in a two-dimensional spatial grid as a rat traverses an environment, with larger grid spacings in the ventral entorhinal cortex (Fyhn et al., 2004; Hafting et al., 2005).”
• Conflicts between Local and Global Spatial Frameworks Dissociate Neural Representations of the Lateral and Medial Entorhinal Cortex (2013, background): “Thus, the spatial firing properties of MEC apparently derive more from interactions with these regions than with postrhinal cortex, which does not show similar signals (Burwell and Hafeman, 2003; Fyhn et al., 2004).”
