I found Prof. Neil Burgess explanation of the difficult topic absolutely brilliant. After many years as a neuro-physio, had to understand why our stroke people have such a challenge walking and have poor visual-spatial awareness. I wish I could contact Neil to give a talk to us as neuro physio in October in london

It’s hard to navigate through the scientific literature on grid, place and other cells. This guy sums it well!

I have had an extremely poor sense of direction ever since I can remember. After this I'm starting to understand where the problem is. As a kid, when other children were dreaming there were monsters under their bed, my recurring nightmare was not being able to find my way home from school (I lived and went to school in a village, lol!). I am not a lot better as an adult either.

Check out the murine model of the animal navigating a torus generated by its brain.
