Which of these famous "spatial cell" type is better?

Well, which is your favourite anyway? Yes it's a silly question

New review on the “spatial cells” across different species! Looks very interesting:
Neural mechanisms for spatial cognition across vertebrates

Small but important comment: it is perfectly normal for place cells to have multiple #PlaceFields ! Only in very small environments (<80cm diameter) will you mostly see single-field place cells. The single field is probably more the exception than the rule in the natural world.
