Spotted this one today, more information about Mouse Brains…

Cool! I tried looking for any examples of the structures of the cells in the paper (grid, place, border and head-direction), but I couldn’t find any. I wonder what they look like?

The best I could find was this image of speed cells (also in the medial entorhinal cortex): https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/115/7/E1627/F5.large.jpg

The paper that had that image is here: https://www.pnas.org/content/115/7/E1627
Seems that they are still trying to figure out the connectivity between the neurons in the medial entorhinal cortex and hippocampus.
