Recent experiments support the theoretical hypothesis that recurrent connectivity plays a central role within the medial entorhinal cortex, by shaping activity of large neural populations, such that their joint activity lies within a continuous attractor. This conjecture involves dynamics within each population (module) of cells that share the same grid spacing. In addition, recent theoretical works raise a hypothesis that, taken together, grid cells from all modules maintain a sophisticated representation of position with uniquely large dynamical range, when compared with other known neural codes in the brain. To maintain such a code, activity in different modules must be coupled, within the entorhinal cortex or through the hippocampus.
