Changes in spatial self-consciousness elicit grid cell–like representation in the entorhinal cortex

Olaf Blanke, Emanuela De Falco, Baptiste Gauthier, Louis Philippe Albert, Hyeongdong Park, Hyukjun Moon, Corentin Marie Hervé Robert Tasu

Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex (EC) encode an individual’s location in space, integrating both environmental and multisensory bodily cues. Notably, body-derived signals are also primary signals for the sense of self. While studies have demonstrated th ...

Noninvasive modulation of the hippocampal-entorhinal complex during spatial navigation in humans

Olaf Blanke, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Elena Beanato, Esra Neufeld, Emanuela De Falco, Fabienne Windel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Traian Popa, Baptiste Gauthier

Because of the depth of the hippocampal-entorhinal complex (HC-EC) in the brain, understanding of its role in spatial navigation via neuromodulation was limited in humans. Here, we aimed to better elucidate this relationship in healthy volunteers, using tr ...

Physical Body Orientation Impacts Virtual Navigation Experience and Performance

Olaf Blanke, Emanuela De Falco, Hsin-Ping Wu, Hyukjun Moon

Most human navigation studies in MRI rely on virtual navigation. However, the necessary supine position in MRI makes it fundamentally different from daily ecological navigation. Nonetheless, until now, no study has assessed whether differences in physical ...

Sense of self impacts spatial navigation and hexadirectional coding in human entorhinal cortex

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Hyeongdong Park, Baptiste Gauthier, Hyukjun Moon

Grid cells in entorhinal cortex (EC) encode an individual’s location in space and rely on environmental cues and self-motion cues derived from the individual’s body. Body-derived signals are also primary signals for the sense of self and based on integrate ...

Bodily self and human grid cell-like activity: probing spatial representation with immersive virtual reality

Hyukjun Moon

Grid cells are place-modulated neurons that encode the location of an agent in space, relying on the integration of various sensorimotor signals from the body. Of note, the integration of those signals is also fundamental for the agent's conscious experien ...
