A principle of economy predicts the functional architecture of grid cells.

Fourth, more recent experimental evidence indicates that focal inactivations of dorsal or ventral mEC each produce place field expansion, and neither generated increased firing at locations outside the main place field – in fact, that data showed a trend towards a decrease in the number of firing fields exhibited by each place cell following focal inactivations (Figure S7 in Ormond et al., 2015).
