Path integration maintains spatial periodicity of grid cell firing in a 1D circular track, Published online: 19 February 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08795-w

In an open field, the preferential firing of grid cells on a hexagonal lattice is formed by integrating external as well as self-motion cues. Here, the authors show that on a 1D circular track, path integration cues shape the spatial selectivity of grid cells while external cues determine the scale of the grid.
