Boundary Cell - wikipedia.org  ## Metadata - Author: **wikipedia.org** - Full Title: Boundary Cell - Category: #articles - URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_cell ## Highlights - **Boundary cells** (also known as **border cells** or **boundary vector cells**) are neurons found in the [hippocampal formation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampal_formation) that respond to the presence of an environmental boundary at a particular distance and direction from an animal. The existence of cells with these firing characteristics were first predicted on the basis of properties of [place cells](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_cells). Boundary cells were subsequently discovered in several regions of the [hippocampal formation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampal_formation): the subiculum, presubiculum and entorhinal cortex ([View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01hn74bd2qf3kanpdt99azc2k4))
