Abstract
Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex provide a two-dimensional metric of the spatial environment. Together with head direction cells and conjunctive cells, they integrate information about a moving animal's trajectory and convey this information to place cells in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 subregions. Two complementary papers now show that the size and stability of grid and place cells is regulated by HCN1 channels.
