Spatial sequences encoded by cells in the hippocampal-entorhinal region have been observed to spontaneously alternate across the animals midline during navigation in the open field, but it is unknown how this occurs. We show that sinusoidal sampling patterns emerge rapidly and robustly in a simple model of the hippocampus that makes no assumptions about sequence direction. We corroborate our findings using hippocampal data from rats navigating in the open field.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
