Grid cells in rat entorhinal cortex encode physical space with independent firing fields and phase precession at the single-trial level

When a rat moves, grid cells in its entorhinal cortex become active in multiple regions of the external world that form a hexagonal lattice. As the animal traverses one such "firing field," spikes tend to occur at successively earlier theta phases of the local field potential. This phenome...
