 is 'Hippocampal/entorhinal representations of non-spatial maps':\n\nThe hi
 ppocampal formation has long been known to encode two-dimensional space us
 ing a representation of place cells in the hippocampus and grid cells in e
 ntorhinal cortex. However\, recent experimental and theoretical work has s
 uggested that these regions can also represent non-spatial maps and variab
 les. We will start by giving a brief overview of place and grid cells and 
 how they encode space. We will then proceed to discuss extensions to high-
 dimensional and non-spatial variables\, focusing on the following three pa
 pers:\n\nEfficient and flexible representation of higher-dimensional cogni
 tive variables with grid cells. Klukas et al.\, PLOS Computational Biology
  (2020).\n\nMapping of a non-spatial dimension by the hippocampal-entorhin
 al circuit. Aronov et al.\, Nature (2017).\n\nThe Tolman-Eichenbaum Machin
 e: Unifying space and relational memory through generalisation in the hipp
 ocampal formation.\nWhittington et al.\, bioRxiv (2019).\n\nAdditional bac
 kground reading for those interested:\n\nWhat Grid Cells Convey about Rat 
 Location. Fiete et al.\, Journal of Neuroscience (2008).\n\nOrganizing con
 ceptual knowledge in humans with a gridlike code. Constantinescu et al.\, 
 Science (2016).\n
