## Highlights
- **Speed cells** are neurons whose firing rates depend on an animal's speed through its environment. Together with [place cells](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_cells), [grid cells](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_cells), [boundary cells](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_cell), and [head direction cells](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_direction_cells), they form a part of a larger set of neurons that are involved in cognitive mapping of the surrounding environment. Speed cells are found in the [entorhinal cortex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entorhinal_cortex). ([View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01hn8cergsmt1he5waj5ya1xe7))
