AbstractThe hippocampus and medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) form a cognitive map that facilitates spatial navigation. As part of this map, MEC grid cells fire in a repeating hexagonal pattern across an environment. This grid pattern relies on inputs from the medial septum (MS). The MS, and specifically its GABAergic neurons, are essential for theta rhythm oscillations in the entorhinal-hippocampal network, however, it is unknown if this subpopulation is also essential for grid cell function.
