Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The entorhinal cortex is known to have grid cells, which are neurons that are activated in a regular pattern as an animal moves through a physical space. Research with patients who were being prepared for surgery to treat severe epilepsy found that the neurons in the entorhinal cortex of these patients functioned like the rat grid cells. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. The other options, medial superior temporal area, retrosplenial cortex, and superior temporal sulcus, are not known to have grid cells.
