Direct recordings of grid-like neuronal activity in human spatial navigationJoshuaJacobsauthorChristoph T.WeidemannauthorJonathan F.MillerauthorAlecSolwayauthorJohn F.BurkeauthorXue-XinWeiauthorNanthiaSuthanaauthorMichael R.SperlingauthorAshwini D.SharanauthorItzhakFriedauthorMichael J.KahanaauthorGrid cells in the entorhinal cortex appear to represent spatial location via a triangular coordinate system. Such cells, which have been identified in rats, bats and monkeys, are believed to support a wide range of spatial behaviors. Recording neuronal activity from neurosurgical patients performing a virtual-navigation task, we identified cells exhibiting grid-like spiking patterns in the human brain, suggesting that humans and simpler animals rely on homologous spatial-coding schemes.Behavioral NeuroscienceBrain ImagingCognitive PsychologyNeurophysiologyPhysiological Psychology2013Journal (Paginated)
