Medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) supports a wide range of navigational and memory related behaviors. Well-known experimental results have revealed specialized cell types in MEC --- e. g. grid, border, and head-direction cells --- whose highly stereotypical response profiles are suggestive of the role they might play in supporting MEC functionality.

Neural Coding analyses often reflect an assumption that neural populations respond uniquely and consistently to particular stimuli.
