Firing Fields of a Grid Cell Recorded in 2 Enclosures (IMAGE)
Caption
Firing fields of a grid cell recorded in 2 enclosures, a rectangle (above) and a trapezoid (below). The north and east walls of the two boxes have the same dimensions but a corner has been shaved off the lower left corner of the rectangle to create the trapezoid. Displacement of the left wall has affected the grid fields close to that wall but has had little effect on those on the right side of the enclosure. The grid field in the rectangle has a triangular grid structure as shown by the overlaid gray triangles while the shift of the left wall in the trapezoid moves several fields (see white arrows) and distorts the grid.
