The new findings also suggest that grid patterns may be more prevalent in humans. Human grid cells were found in the entorhinal cortex – same as the rats – but also in the cingulate cortex.

Studies have explored the benefits of non-square grid architectures, where the triangular grid, in particular, has shown an aptitude for reducing artefacts in image sampling and processing [1].
