Abstract EN
The entorhinal cortex plays an important role in spatial memory and episodic memory functions.
These functions may result from cellular mechanisms for integration of the afferent input to entorhinal cortex.
This article reviews physiological data on persistent spiking and membrane potential oscillations in entorhinal cortex then presents models showing how both these cellular mechanisms could contribute to properties observed during unit recording, including grid cell firing, and how they could underlie behavioural functions including path integration.
The interaction of oscillations and persistent firing could contribute to encoding and retrieval of trajectories through space and time as a mechanism relevant to episodic memory.
