    This is a grid cell. Grid cells are located in the brain's enthorinal cortex. They help humans and other mammals find our way. This grid cell is captured by Menno Witter at KISN.

    The grid cells are known as the brain's GPS. To find your way, you need to know where you are, where you are going and how to get there. These grid cells are recorded by Richard Gardner at KISN using Neuropixels probes.

    Grid cells were first discovered in rats by the Moser Group in 2005. Grid cells have since been discovered in species as diverse as bats, monkeys and humans. They are part of a navigational system that evolved in the pre-mammal brain hundreds of millions of years ago.
