However, we found an association between decreased navigational performance and deficits in
grid cell activity,» says Prof. Thomas Wolbers, a DZNE senior scientist and supervisor of the current study.
Improving
grid cell activity with new drugs or brain stimulation techniques might help, he says.
Not exact matches
In animals, implanted electrodes were used to measure the
activity of individual
grid cells directly, but this is not a practical option in humans.
This, along with the importance of retaining continuity at
grid cell level with historical data, required more extensive harmonization
activities (i.e. minimizing the difference between historical reconstruction and future projections, and preserving as much information from IAMs as possible).
