Speed v. accuracy in neurons

Caption

Neuron tuning curves show different kinds of activity. In the entorhinal cortex, a network hub for memory, navigation, and the perception of time, the curves have multiple peaks and they are more periodic. These types of curves, suggest higher accuracy in decoding the input, albeit at slower speed unlike the single-peaked curves found in early sensory regions.
