Model architecture and generation of 2D grid cells.

(A) Our model consists of a neural sheet with five overlapping populations, four of them excitatory—N, W, S, and E—and one inhibitory. Each density plot depicts the synaptic outputs in the sheet of a neuron at the origin. (B) Each neuron is driven to a particular membrane potential, which exceeds the spiking threshold for excitatory neurons at the center of the sheet and oscillates at 8 Hz for inhibitory neurons while the animal is running. (C) Snapshot of neural activity showing S and inhibitory populations separately; other excitatory populations have activity patterns similar to that of the S population. Each pixel is a neuron and dark colors indicate recent spiking. (D) Left, segment of a 2D open field trajectory. Right, neural activity over the course of the segment with each neuron colored according to the position at which it attained its maximum firing rate. Each attractor bump moves in synchrony with animal motion. (E) Left, two sample grid cells with spikes shown as colored dots superimposed on the animal’s trajectory. Each neuron’s location in the sheet is indicated by a circle of corresponding color in D. Right, autocorrelation of rate maps calculated from spikes at left. Black scale bars, 50 neurons. White scale bars, 50 cm.

Right, neural activity over runs with each neuron colored according to the track position at which it attained maximum firing rate. Red circles indicate regions of recording. Scale bar, 50 neurons.

Dependence of phase relationships on excitatory population and number of fields.

Box-whisker plots with lines at medians, boxes between first to third quartiles, and whiskers between the entire data range excluding outliers lying more than 1.5 times the interquartile distance beyond the first or third quartile. Medians compared by the Mann-Whitney U test with reported p-values. (A–F) Analysis of phase relationships with respect to excitatory population. For these simulations, the direction of animal velocity is 0°, which means that runs are aligned to the E and W directions.

The ‘against’ category corresponds to the E and W populations during the opposite running directions. The ‘perp.’ category corresponds to the N and S directions. (A) Number of valid recorded neurons. Note that there are very few ‘against’ neurons due to low firing rate, and this category is excluded from further analysis. (B) Number of spikes per neuron. (C) Magnitude of correlation coefficient.

Bump size oscillations explain phase precession in models with simplified dynamics.

(A,B) Data from simulations with fixed inhibitory drive and constant animal velocity. (A) Snapshots of neural activity. Scale bar, 50 neurons. (B) The diameter of bumps on the neural sheet decreases linearly with inhibitory drive (linear regression R2=0.90, ANOVA p10-9). (C) Phase precession in a conceptual model with bump size oscillations. We imagine an attractor bump, with size oscillations described by B, passing through a recorded grid cell. Top, a single lap. The recorded neuron is at location 0 and fires a spike (black dot) whenever contained within the bump (gray area), subject to a 40 ms refractory period. Bottom, relationship between theta phase and time across multiple laps with different initial phases. Spikes occur around 360° (equivalently, 0°) at the start of the field, and their phase generally decreases with time within in the grid field. (D) Attractor bump shape at different theta phases averaged over theta cycles and individual bumps (Appendix 1). Grays scaled separately for each theta phase. Scale bar, three neurons. (E,F) Phase behavior in a simplified model using average bump dynamics. (E) We imagine the average attractor bump passing through a recorded grid cell. Top, a single lap. The recorded neuron is at location 0 and stochastically fires a spike (black dot) with rate proportional to bump activity, subject to a 40 ms refractory period. Bottom, relationship between time and theta phase across multiple laps with different initial phases. (F) Relationship between time and theta phase using average bumps whose activity has been rescaled to different maximum values: 40, 50, and 100 spikes/s.

Panels same as A–D. (I–K) Neurons exhibit phase independence under high bump activity with maximum value 100 spikes/s. Panels same as A–C.

Figure 4—video 1
Phase precession in a simplified conceptual model.

An idealized attractor bump, with constant speed and oscillating size, passes through a recorded grid cell multiple times with different initial theta phases. This represents an animal running multiple laps in the same direction at constant speed. Top, the recorded neuron is at location 0 and fires a spike (black dot) whenever it is contained within the bump (gray area), subject to a 40 ms refractory period. Bottom, relationship between theta phase and time for spikes accumulated across multiple laps. Theta phase generally decreases with time within in the grid field. Since the simulated animal moves at constant speed, time is proportional to position, so theta phase decreases with position within in the grid field.

(A,B) Data from simulations with fixed inhibitory drive and constant animal velocity. (A) Snapshots of neural activity. Scale bar, 50 neurons. (B) The speed of bumps on the neural sheet increases linearly with inhibitory drive (linear regression R2=0.91, ANOVA p10-9). Thus, the average decoded position in Figure 5B advances most rapidly around the middle of the theta cycle. (C) Activity of the average attractor bump depicted in Figure 4D along its central axis. (D) Top, peak activity location from C as a function of time. Bottom, peak activity position relative to constant bump motion as a function of time. Within each theta cycle, the segment from the smallest to the largest value is emphasized and corresponds to a theta sequence in Figure 5D.

Figure 6—figure supplement 1
Relationship between attractor bump size and speed.

Attractor bump size and speed are not generally correlated over changes in multiple simulation parameters, but both are negatively correlated with the amount of inhibition produced by inhibitory neurons. (A) Legend for simulations with fixed inhibitory drive. Each simulation is performed at different values of inhibitory drive amag-, inhibitory synaptic strength wmag-, and inhibitory membrane time constant τm-. Other parameters are set at the values used for main simulation runs (Table 1). (B–F) Relationships between pairs of attractor bump properties across parameters displayed in A. Rank correlation computed by Spearman’s ρ with p-values indicated. Attractor bump properties are diameter, speed, the multiunit activity of inhibitory neurons (inhibitory MUA), and a metric for the amount of inhibition produced by inhibitory neurons (inhibitory MUA×wmag-). Note that B indicates no overall correlation between bump size and speed, but increasing amag- (following blue–cyan–green) increases bump speed and decreases bump diameter, as seen in Figure 4B and Figure 6B.

(B) Direction of replay propagation across simulations. For each actual position and replay direction, width of gray bars indicates the number of simulations with a particular replay count.

Replays preferentially radiate from attractor bumps encoding the current animal position.

The activity snapshot in Figure 8A corresponds to t = 41.14 s. Left, position of the animal (black square) at 0 cm along a 1D track, whose positions are colored with a gradient. Right, neural activity of the E population superimposed upon a spatial firing map. Each neuron is colored according the position at which it attains maximum firing rate. Each black pixel represents a spike within the last 5 ms. A wavefront travels through the red recording region located at the top right of the neural sheet. It emanates from an attractor bump sustained by yellow neurons that represent the current position of 0 cm, and it rapidly sweeps through neurons representing progressively farther track positions.
