The abrupt emergence of adult-like grid cell firing during the development of the medial entorhinal cortex

The neural circuits underlying spatial cognition are created during the development of the brain, and understanding how networks subserving specific cognitive functions are assembled remains a challenge for neuroscience. Here, we characterise the development of grid cells in the medial entorhinal co...
