Watching the animals roam through those contraptions, Jeffery has looked for clues into how grid cells might extend their regular patterns into 3D space. Theoretically, if the system simply ...

A few years ago, physicists were surprised to learn that stacking and subtly twisting two atomically thin layers of an ...

This allows them to build qubit arrays in standard grid patterns, in topologies such as a Möbius strip, ... Kumar et al. report a method for arranging ultracold, neutral caesium atoms in defined ...

The new findings also suggest that grid patterns may be more prevalent in humans. Human grid cells were found in the entorhinal cortex – same as the rats – but also in the cingulate cortex.
