Changes in spatial self-consciousness elicit grid cell-like representation in the entorhinal cortex.

Article Synopsis
- Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex help track an individual's location by integrating environmental cues and signals from the body, which also contribute to our sense of self.
- Researchers investigated whether illusory changes in self-location, induced by visuo-tactile stimulation without traditional navigation, could trigger grid cell-like representations in the brain.
- The study found that these perceived changes in self-location can activate grid cell-like activity in a manner similar to traditional navigation, suggesting that our brain uses similar mechanisms for both sensory cues and body perception when determining location.
To decide whether a course of action is worth pursuing, individuals typically weigh its expected costs and benefits. Optimal decision-making relies upon accurate effort cost anticipation, which is generally assumed to be performed independently from goal valuation. In two experiments (n = 46), we challenged this independence principle of standard decision theory.
