Entorhinal cortex computations influenced by ramping dynamics

Neurons in the entorhinal cortex encode temporal, spatial and abstract variables through ramping dynamics as well as by well-studied localized firing fields. 

Ramping dynamics could reflect compression of information for communication to other telencephalic areas or local computations such as interval estimation and path integration.

Potential neural mechanisms for ramping include summation of inputs from neurons with localized firing, integration within recurrently connected circuitry, or slow single neuron integrative dynamics.

Key future directions include experimentally testing mechanisms for entorhinal ramping dynamics and their roles in network computations and behavior.
