The functional microcircuits underlying spatial representations in medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) have not been described. Through their discovery of 'small' and 'large' patches in medial entorhinal cortex with highly selective interconnections, Michael Brecht and colleagues demonstrate the modularity of entorhinal processing and provide insight into spatial cognition.
