Perfect periodicity in grid cells would make decoding locations degenerate in large spaces. Slight distortions in grid patterns, as observed in vivo, solve this problem, enabling precise spatial navigation. Final version of the manuscript is now available 👇 elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

Interesting study on the role of hippocampal VIP neurons in remapping, place field stabilization, & emergence of new place cells (BTSP). One possible mechanism is through OLM cell inhibition by VIP. Then, does direct manipulation of OLM cells lead to the same effect? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
