Human entorhinal cortex represents visual space using a boundary-anchored grid.

ABSTRACT: When participants performed a visual search task, functional MRI responses in entorhinal cortex exhibited a sixfold periodic modulation by gaze-movement direction. The orientation of this modulation was determined by the shape and orientation of the bounded search space. These results indicate that human entorhinal cortex represents visual space using a boundary-anchored grid, analogous to that used by rodents to represent navigable space.
