Linking Cellular Mechanisms to Behavior: Entorhinal Persistent Spiking and Membrane Potential Oscillations May Underlie Path Integration, Grid Cell Firing, and Episodic Memory
Figure 4
Simulation of theta phase precession in grid cell model based on
membrane potential oscillations. (a)
Theta phase plotted on vertical axis as a simulated rat runs through a grid
cell firing field in west to east and east to west directions. (b) Theta phase during run from south to
north. (c) Spike times (filled circles)
of summed oscillations in a neuron relative to oscillation in the soma of that
neuron (negative of network theta oscillation).
