Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Grid cells, located in the entorhinal cortex, are known for their unique property of firing in a spatially periodic manner, creating a triangular grid of firing fields that covers the entire environment. This allows them to play a crucial role in spatial navigation and mapping by providing a coordinate system for the animal's location.
