Sentence examples for multiple firing fields from inspiring English sources
However, unlike place cells, grid cells each have multiple firing fields that tile the entire environment in a regular triangular pattern.
We find, in particular, that spike phases provide about twice as much spatial information as firing rates, phase precession is stronger at the single-run level than suggested by pooled data, and that the multiple firing fields of a grid cell operate as independent encoders of physical space.
Our analysis assumed that the grid code is hierarchical, with large grids resolving the spatial ambiguity created by the multiple firing fields of the small grids that deliver precision of location.
Thus, the multiple firing fields of a grid cell cannot be distinguished by a decoder, so that for λ → 0 the global resolution approaches the a priori uncertainty (Mathis et al., 2012a, 2012b).
A second observation is that V1 cells often fired at multiple firing fields on a trajectory, whereas many CA1 cells only exhibited one or two fields on our track.
However, those studies show no systematic relationship between the locations of dorsal place cell's multiple firing fields in large environments, which directly contradicts the predictions of a grid cell to place cell model (see, for example, Appendix figure 3 and Appendix figure 4 in this manuscript).
These location-responsive V1 cells have multiple, narrow firing fields on a given trajectory of the track.
Unlike place cells, however, they are characterised by multiple circular firing fields arranged in an equilateral triangular lattice across the environment.
If a pair had multiple overlapped firing fields, we only analyzed the spikes within the most dominant pair of overlapping fields (the one with the maximum sum of peak rates).
Grid cells have periodic tuning curves they are active at multiple locations, called firing fields, and these firing fields are hexagonally arranged in the environment (Hafting et al., 2005).
Our data are consistent with the report by Derdikman et al. (2009) that place cells repeat their firing fields across multiple compartments.
