… Lines in left and middle panels indicate two axes of the grid pattern (which define grid
orientation); crosses in the panel on the right indicate grid phase (x–y location of grid fields). c | …

The medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) creates a neural representation of space through a set
of functionally dedicated cell types: grid cells, border cells, head direction cells, and speed …

We review some of the techniques used to study the dynamics of disordered systems
subject to both quenched and fast (thermal) noise. Starting from the Martin–Siggia–Rose/Janssen–…

Grid cells in layer II of the medial entorhinal cortex form a principal component of the
mammalian neural representation of space. The firing pattern of a single grid cell has been …

To determine how hippocampal backprojections influence spatially periodic firing in grid
cells, we recorded neural activity in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) of rats after temporary …

We study pairwise Ising models for describing the statistics of multineuron spike trains,
using data from a simulated cortical network. We explore efficient ways of finding the optimal …

One of the most critical problems we face in the study of biological systems is building accurate
statistical descriptions of them. This problem has been particularly challenging because …

There has been recent progress on inferring the structure of interactions in complex networks
when they are in stationary states satisfying detailed balance, but little has been done for …

Statistical models for describing the probability distribution over the states of biological
systems are commonly used for dimensional reduction. Among these models, pairwise models …

… rate difference index for each cell: (X – Y) / (X + Y), where X and Y represent the number of
calcium events detected in contexts X and Y, respectively. Only cells with > 10 events during …
