Speed_cells
Speed cells are neurons whose firing rates depend on an animal's speed through its environment. Together with place cells, grid cells, boundary cells, and head direction cells, they form a part of a larger set of neurons that are involved in cognitive mapping of the surrounding environment. Speed cells are found in the entorhinal cortex.
This Neuroanatomy needs attention from an expert in Neuroscience. The specific problem is: Creating a page for new publication on speed cells. See the talk page for details. (August 2015) |
