Subthreshold oscillations may underlie differences in grid field spacing. A. Reciprocal of oscillation frequency plotted versus anatomical depth for anatomical range matching a previous publication (7) as shown in B. C–D. Simulation of grid cell model (3, 8). Top: Gray indicates trajectory of simulated rat. Red indicates firing locations. Bottom: Firing rate map (red=maximum, blue=no spikes). Grid field spacing is small for mean dorsal oscillation frequency of 6.42 Hz (C) and larger for mean ventral frequency of 4.23 Hz (D).
