Abstract:
The entorhinal cortex (EC) in the medial temporal lobe plays a critical role in memory formation and is implicated in several neurological diseases including temporal lobe epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease. Despite the known importance of this brain region, little is known about the normal bioelectrical activity patterns of the EC in awake, behaving primates. In order to develop effective therapies for diseases affecting the EC, we must first understand its normal properties. To contribute to our understanding of the EC, I monitored the activity of individual neurons and populations of neurons

Abstract:
Spatial memory and navigation relies on estimation of location. This can be achieved through several strategies, including the use of landmarks and by path integration. The latter involves inferring location from direction and distance moved relative to a known start point. The neural mechanisms of path integration are not well understood and implementation of experiments that dissociate path integration from alternative strategies is challenging. The roles of specific cell types are also unknown. Although grid cells in layer 2 of the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) are theorised to be involved

Populasjonskoder i mediale entorhinal korteks Hjernebarken utfører kontinuerlig et velde av kompliserte funksjoner, hvis mekanismer vi kan tjene mye på å forstå. Nevrovitenskap er et relativt nytt fag, men med utrolig moment. Mye vites i dag om enkle nevroners egenskaper, men nevral komputering foregår i store trekk i interaksjonene mellom celler. Men på dette planet er det mange hindere som må overkommes; teknologisk nyvinning og konseptuell modning har ført til at nevrovitenskap gjennom de senere år har kunnet tilnærme seg spørsmal som fanger mekanismer på systemnivå.

Abstract:
In dieser Arbeit werden Struktur-Funktionsbeziehungen in der medialen entorhinalen Hirnrinde untersucht. Schicht 2 Neurone im medialen entorhinalen Cortex unterteilen sich in calbindin-positive Pyramidenzellen und calbindin-negative Sternzellen. Calbindin-positive Pyramidenzellen bündeln ihre apikalen Dendriten zusammen und formen Zellhaufen, die in einem hexagolen arrangiert sind. Das Gitter von calbindin-positiven Pyramidenzellhaufen ist an Schicht 1 Axonen und dem Parasubiculum ausgerichtet und wird durch cholinerge Eingänge innerviert. Calbindin-positive Pyramidenzellen zeigen stark thet

Schicht 2 des mediale entorhinale Kortex (MEK) beinhaltet die größte Anzahl von Gitterzellen, welche durch ein hexagonales Aktivitätsmuster während räumlicher Exploration gekennzeichnet sind. In dieser Arbeit wurde gezeigt, dass spezielle Pyramidenzellen, die das Protein Calbindin exprimieren, in einem hexagonalen Gitter im Gehirn der Ratte angeordnet sind und cholinerg innerviert werden. Es ist bekannt, dass die cholinerge Innervation wichtig für die Aktivität von Gitterzellen ist.

The superficial layers of the medial entorhinal cortex(MEC) contain serval functionally specialized spatial cell types. suck a grid cells, head direction cells, border cells and cells with conjunctive properties. It is currently not know how the firing patterns of these vell populations map onto the architecture og the MEC circuit. Results from recent work suggest that there are two largely non-overlapping neuronal populations within superficial layers of MEC with different prosjecting targets. One of them target the hippocampus while the other prosjects extrahippocampally. It has been shown t

Abstract:
The hippocampal formation(HF) and the parahippocampal region (PHR) have been implicated in learning and memory functions. These regions and their subregions form a highly interconnected and complex microcircuitry, where the entorhinal cortex consitutes the nodal point between the hippocampal formation and the cortex. The entorhinal cortex conssists of ywo functionally distinct subregions. It had been suggested that this diffrence in functional output results from differences in microcircuitry, and input and output characteristics whithin the regions. Therefore, in order to understand the funct

Die Orientierung im Raum ist eine Fähigkeit des Gehirns, für die im Säugetier der mediale entorhinale Teil der Großhirnrinde als entscheidende Struktur identifiziert wurde. Hier wurden Nervenzellen gefunden, die die Umgebung des Individuums in einer gitterartigen Anordnung repräsentieren.

Abstract:
Komplexe kognitive Funktionen wie Gedächtnisbildung, Navigation und Entscheidungsprozesse hängen von der Kommunikation zwischen Hippocampus und Neokortex ab. An der Schnittstelle dieser beiden Gehirnregionen liegt der entorhinale Kortex - ein Areal, das Neurone mit bemerkenswerten räumlichen Repräsentationen enthält: Gitterzellen. Gitterzellen sind Neurone, die abhängig von der Position eines Tieres in seiner Umgebung feuern und deren Feuerfelder ein dreieckiges Muster bilden. Man vermutet, dass Gitterzellen Navigation und räumliches Gedächtnis unterstützen, aber die Mechanismen, die diese Mus
