It is proposed that place cells are arranged in a hexagonal grid for large surfaces devoid of landmarks, which produces grid cell receptive fields as an artifact of memory retrieval.

'Phototactile' hand stimulation rapidly activates first the somatosensory then the motor cortex, broadly consistent with constraints suggested by the previously described circuit architecture of this transcortical loop.
Viral-mediated Oct4 overexpression induces direct conversion of wildtype mammalian Müller glia to bipolar neurons, and this process is synergistically enhanced by loss of Notch signaling.
Rare individuals treated for congenital cataracts demonstrated shifts in the visual cortex’s excitatory/inhibitory balance even decades post-surgery, reflected by alterations in the neurotransmitter concentration ratio and aperiodic electroencephalogram activity.
