Velocity coupling of grid cell modules enables stable embedding of a low dimensional variable in a high dimensional neural attractor

Grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) encode position using a distributed representation across multiple neural populations (modules), each possessing a distinct spatial scale. The modular structure of the representation confers the grid cell neural code with large capacity. Yet, the modu...
