The "grid cell," which derives its name from the triangular grid pattern in which the cell activates during navigation, is distinct among brain cells because its activation represents multiple ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 22, No. 6 (Dec., 1985), pp. 1107-1115 (9 pages) We present an almost uniform triangulation of the two-sphere, derived from the icosahedron, and describe a ...

The new findings also suggest that grid patterns may be more prevalent in humans. Human grid cells were found in the entorhinal cortex – same as the rats – but also in the cingulate cortex.
