DESCRIPTION:Grid cells\, in entorhinal cortex\, have been regarded as a ri
 gid system\, essentially memory-less and almost frozen\, following their d
 evelopmental maturation. Recent data suggest\, however\, that such rigidit
 y may be an artifact of experimental studies carried out in standard labor
 atory conditions. For grid cells to represent spatial position in ecologic
 al conditions\, they appear to require memory of familiar environments. I 
 will discuss how the grid cell network may attain sufficient storage capac
 ity\, despite the lack\, in contrast to the hippocampus\, of dentate gyrus
  preprocessing.\n
