Different grid cells have hexagonal firing patterns with different spatial scales and offsets, allowing them to cover the entire 2D plane. Because of the striking symmetry, regularity and consistency ...

A new map shows off these structures in a rainbow of colors. By Greg Miller, Science NOW To the unaided eye, the most striking feature of the human brain is its squiggly pattern of bumps and grooves.

A new video from CGP Grey shows how Dwight Eisenhower’s highways create a grid pattern from which all naming is derived and what those numbers tell you. The largest members of the Interstate ...

Hint: It’s not due north. Seriously. Look at the map. Streets in other cities — Chicago and (sigh) Raleigh — go north-south and east-west in a classic grid pattern.

Grid cells provide the entorhinal–hippocampal spatial map with a metric. The regular structure of the grid pattern is likely to depend on path integration.

The new findings also suggest that grid patterns may be more prevalent in humans. Human grid cells were found in the entorhinal cortex – same as the rats – but also in the cingulate cortex.

However, whether a grid pattern is visible at a particular point depends on when users log on. The interactive map available on the website only records the previous 48 hours of data.

Additionally, deviations from a grid allow for roads that follow winding rivers and curve around topography. Those types of features can often be much more inviting than the ability to make a 90 ...
