title: Spatial Cognition: Grid Cells Support Imagined Navigation.
abstract: Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex represent an animal's current location during navigation. A new study indicates that grid cells in humans also represent information about imagined movement and spatial orienting, suggesting that the entorhinal network has a flexible role in spatial representation.
