Recurrent circuits within medial entorhinal cortex superficial layers support grid cell firing

Medial entorhinal cortex (mEC) neurons encode various navigation parameters such as speed, head direction, as well as grid cells. Here, the authors demonstrate that brief disruption of the local activity in mEC specifically affects grid cell tuning.
