Grid cell

A grid cell is like a little helper in our brain that helps us remember where things are. Imagine you have a big room with lots of things in it. The grid cells help you remember where everything is by making a sort of map in your brain.

The map is made up of grids, like the ones on graph paper, and each cell in the grid helps the brain remember a different place in the room. When you move around in the room, grid cells keep track of where you are and update the map in your brain.

This helps you find your way back to something you saw before, like your favorite toy in the room, by telling your brain exactly where it is on the map. Grid cells are really good at this because they work with other cells in your brain to create a precise and detailed map of your surroundings.

So, basically, grid cells are little helpers in our brain that help us remember where things are by creating a map in our brain with the help of other cells.
